About the Mid-Ohio Food Collective 
One in six Ohioans, including one in four children, is at risk of going hungry. Within Franklin County alone, our hungry neighbors miss roughly 69 million meals each year—or an average of three meals per week. Simply put, thousands of our neighbors go an entire day without eating each week.

Since 1980, feeding hungry neighbors has been at the core of the Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s mission. Over the decades, the organization has pushed traditional food banking forward—learning, growing, and innovating to better meet neighbors’ needs. Today, MOFC is among the nation’s leading hunger-relief organizations, with five key programs that together demonstrate pioneering, resourceful strategies to feed families and address larger social challenges.
