Life Center Food Pantry / Livingston County Food Pantry

The merger of two local food pantries in January, 2019, allows the organization to have a stronger impact on our community and bless our community. Recently, the Life Center Food Pantry and the Livingston County Food Pantry merged. Ultimately allowing one food pantry center to reach more citizens. Life Center Pantry began as an outreach of Cornerstone Church but has operated for the past four years under the Chillicothe Ministerial Alliance. Recently, a longtime lead volunteer for the Life Center Food Pantry decided to step down. While the Ministerial Alliance and the community of churches behind it looked for a person to take over operations, the idea emerged to join the Livingston County Food Pantry. The Ministerial Alliance will supply the Livingston County Food Pantry with the ability to get more food into the center and into the community. The group will continue to support the food pantry on the same level it was supporting the Life Center Food Pantry with administrative costs and more.

The Livingston County Food Pantry will continue to be open from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. every Monday and Friday. The Livingston County Food Pantry will also be open the Thursday and Friday after the second Wednesday of each month to distribute USDA Foods, formerly known as commodities. The purpose of the mission was always to help those in need and to strengthen the community.

Usually the organizations served about 450 individuals a month. The Livingston County Food Pantry is always accepting volunteers and donations. For more information stop by the center located at 403 Locust Street.
