NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES INC

NSI Food Pantry aims to temper the ill effects of poverty by providing food and material assistance to persons in need in the Columbus community. We partner with Mid-Ohio Foodbank, local grocers and organizations to stock our pantry, and offer a 5-day supply of food on each visit. NSI Food Pantry improves the quality of life in the Columbus community by compassionately and respectfully serving our neighbors in need.

In 2021, NSI’s volunteers served 979,773 meals to 47,283 people in 68 zip codes.

In addition to food programs, we also distribute backpacks stuffed with school supplies in August, and Christmas toys for children up to 12 years old in December. Our addition food programs include: an Easter dinner package, a Thanksgiving dinner package, AARP Free Tax Prep, rent and utility assistance and a monthly CSFP food box for senior citizens (60+).
