Food Pantry & Outreach Events in 2023

Art for Youth
Workshop

The Lancaster Vineyard Food Pantry & Outreach hosted a summer art workshop for middle and high schoolers! We had a blast getting to meet new friends, eating together, and doing a different art project in each class. The teens got to do embroidery, painting, decorating t-shirts, collages, and painting at Art & Clay. It was so cool to hear that some of the teens were inspired to do more of the projects in their spare time, beyond what we did in class!

Food Pantry Dinner

Thank you to every who joined us for our 1st Annual Food Pantry Dinner on Saturday, August 26th. We got to hear the history of our Food Pantry, and take the time to thank everyone who started it, kept it going, and keeps it going today. We can't do what we do without the volunteers, partners, and contributors, so if you fall under any of those those titles, THANK YOU!!

Alpha

Alpha is an 8-week course designed for anyone to ask questions! It is a casual group for those who are curious about faith, life and meaning. We welcome anyone who is not sure about God or those who are new on their journey of faith. Alpha at the Food Pantry created a safe space for people in neighborhood and our community to have conversations and explore faith. We can’t wait to host another group this coming year.

Harvest Party

Our Harvest Party was in October! We love to host this time of games, face painting, food, activities, and gathering together within the community! It was so much fun to see everyone’s costumes and we’re excited to see you all next year.

Holiday Meal Boxes

This year, we expanded our holiday meal box giveaways from 100 to 150 boxes! Each box was overflowing with all the essentials for a hearty feast: turkey/ham, stuffing, corn, green beans, rolls, butter, milk, eggs, pie, whipped cream, and thanks to Mid-Ohio Food Bank, fresh potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, apples, and gravy.
