In what region or area do you provide services in?

One of Ohio’s largest local food pantry systems, the LSS Food Pantries provide healthy food for families, seniors, and single people in need, in 14 Ohio counties. (Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Guernsey, Noble, Scioto, Athens, Lawrence, Gallia, Meigs, Ashland, Marion, and Union counties). Unlike most other food pantries, each of our pantries serves one or more entire counties instead of just one neighborhood. Our food pantries are much larger and serve more people than most other pantries.
