Get Involved: Our Board, our volunteers, and our generous community make our work possible!

Can you help?

The Food Pantry is in great need of baby formula, specifically Similac Advanced  and Isomil. Also needed: jarred baby food, cereal, diapers and wipes. A list of our current needs is available for download. 



Who works for FACS?
Our Board of Directors and dozens of individual volunteers and organizations run Franklin Area Community Services under our Director’s guidance. 

Do you shop at Kroger?
Do you shop at Kroger? You can earn dollars for FACS simply by shopping and it costs you nothing!

We have free Kroger Neighborhood Rewards cards available in our Pantry. Call us or stop in and we’ll be happy to give you one. You add the dollar amount to your card you desire and shop. The Kroger card works like a debit card. Every purchase you make generates funds for our Food Pantry.


Do you shop on-line?
If so, please start your shopping at
www.goodsearch.com. When you start your on-line shopping there, a percentage of your purchases will be donated back to FACS and it doesn’t cost you anything! Follow the directions to make sure FACS receives the contribution.

Do you want to get involved?
Volunteer! Over 100 volunteers donate time, talents, and energy to operate the pantry, accept donations, unload trucks, work with clients and work on special programs. We can match your interest with volunteer work.

Host a Food Drive! Your club, church, business, or neighborhood may wish to organize a collection for items to donate. Nonperishable foods and toiletry items are always needed.
 

Help with fundraising!
Does your group have a fundraising idea for our agency? We’d love to chat with you!

Monetary Donations! United Way is our primary funding source, but FACS greatly depends on private, business, church, and government donations. The more our funding increases, the more families we can assist. Many needs are not being addressed due to lack of resources. Mail a check--donations are tax-deductible--(no cash, please) to FACS, 345 S. Main St, Franklin, OH 45005

Be A Sponsor! Help finance one of our special programs such as our Back-To-School program.

Our 2009 Back to School Event
August 12 and 13 were the FACS Back to School distribution days. 300 area children, grades K - 8, were provided with brand new backpacks and school supplies. There were many smiling faces on the children as they received their backpacks.  Program coordinator, Helen Miracle, did a terrific job administering the 2008 Back to School Program.  Helen enlisted her granddaughter, Kelli Blanton, (pictured below) along with eight other members of her family to help, making this project a real "family affair." 
 
The Back to School Program was made possible through a generous donation made by St. Paul Lutheran Church and a matching grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
