Dublin Food Pantry

We are inspired by Jack’s recent efforts on behalf of Young Adults Against Hunger, collecting an incredible 194.6 pounds of food and essential items for the Dublin Food Pantry!

Jack also partnered with The Market District (Giant Eagle), which generously donated reusable grocery bags. These bags helped transport the donations and were left with us so they can continue to be reused in support of our mission.

Peep the other amazing youth organizations represented on the donation log alongside Jack & Young Adults Against Hunger 👀 The young people in our community are making big moves to make our community a better place for us all! ☘️

In just a few years our community garden—which started as just a few rows of garden beds—has quickly grown into a thriving source of fresh food for those in our community.

**Update: The bags have not yet arrived at the stores! Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement soon and be ready to shop!**

We’re excited to share that Dublin Food Pantry has been selected as a beneficiary of the Kroger Columbus Fight Hunger Bag Program for June and July 2026!
Through the Kroger Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative, shoppers can support local hunger relief efforts simply by purchasing a reusable Fight Hunger bag.

Here’s how you can help:

🛍️ Purchase a $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger bag during June and July 2026 at either of these Dublin Kroger locations:

📍 299 West Bridge Street, Dublin, OH
📍 7100 Hospital Drive, Dublin, OH

For every Fight Hunger bag sold at these locations, $1 will be donated directly to the Dublin Food Pantry to help support neighbors in need in our community.

We are so grateful to Kroger Columbus, Mark Bruce, and the entire Kroger team for partnering with local organizations to fight hunger and make a meaningful impact right here at home. Thank you for helping us continue serving our community!

We are honored to highlight the special organizations, businesses, and individuals who help make Bounty at Bridge Park possible ✨

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on community supporters and lead sponsors, Mindy and Scott Miller ☘️

"With the ongoing dismantling of safety nets for vulnerable populations, it is crucial now more than ever for individuals to support local charities in bridging an ever-widening gap. Additionally, having worked as a preschool teacher in Dublin for several years, I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of food insecurity on a child's emotional, cognitive, and social growth. I commend the efforts of Dublin Food Pantry in their mission to ensure that no child in our community is hungry." — Mindy and Scott Miller

Thank you, Mindy and Scott, for your heart for children and families in our community 💚

This is what looks like.

We’re not just distributing meals...but growing them.
