A Thanksgiving Story
It is November 17th, a cold clear fall morning in Franklin, Ohio. It is the day of the FACS Thanksgiving distribution at the Food Pantry. As I pull into the Pantry parking lot at 9:00 am, I notice there is already a line of at least 100 residents forming at our door and down the ramp. Walking up to our building, I see familiar faces peering out of hat and scarves. Read more

The pantry reopened on Aug. 16 after
renovations which included a new walk-in freezer, made possible by a grant from the Grainger Foundation, and new flooring, thanks to the generosity of Edwards Furniture.Many thanks to all of the volunteers who helped during the renovations and pantry re-stocking.
