Columbus Food Pantry expresses thanks for community effort

On Jan. 10, the Columbus Walmart notified the Columbus Food Pantry of a donation of 126 cases of frozen Cornish Game Hens. That equals 3,024 hens. The Food Pantry has a good deal of freezer space, but it is not able to handle 3,024 hens. Coordination efforts got underway immediately. Several volunteers, churches, and businesses came to the rescue of the hens. The hens are currently all over the City of Columbus, and safely waiting to be handed to families in need of The Columbus Food Pantry services. It was an impressive effort.

A big “thank you” goes out to Walmart, Judd Toepperwein and Toepperwein AC and Refrigeration, Quality Electronics, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Columbus First United Methodist Church, Knights of Columbus, James Simons, Robert Chaloupka, Gary Chandler, Fausta Kaiser, Stephanie Polasek, Rachel Clem and Gant and Susan Glover.

The Columbus Food Pantry is a nonprofit organization. Mission Statement: Community churches working together to eliminate hunger.
