Hilliard Food Pantry

Our mission

The mission of Hilliard Food Pantry is simple – improve the well-being of our community by providing food and support. Founded over 55 years ago, it has been funded entirely from contributions of individuals, businesses and organizations.

The Hilliard Food Pantry is operated by the Hilliard Community Assistance Council (HCAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is managed by a volunteer board of not more than eleven members. There is one full-time employee for the pantry.

In 2019, the Hilliard Food Pantry saw 4936 visits from families in our community. Families are eligible to receive a 5 day supply of food once a month. The organization formed in 1960 and incorporated in 1963.

The majority of the food, perishable and non-perishable comes from Mid-Ohio Foodbank or one of its sources. Very important to the pantry is retail pickup. We pick up from Aldi, GFS, Big Lots, Giant Eagle, Target and Kroger. These donations are perishable foods such as produce and meat. Food is also donated from the restaurants, Little Caesars and Dickeys BBQ Pit. Non-perishable food is received from individual donations and the many food drives that run throughout the year.
