Food Resources
You can send a person you trust to pick up food for you. If you can’t make it to a pantry or Market yourself, all Mid-Ohio Food Collective partner agencies use a proxy process. It’s easy – just complete this “Letter of Proxy” form and have a family member, a neighbor, or a friend pick up food for you.
