COMMUNITY CONNEXIONS

  • VICTORY CENTER

    Victory Center is a non-profit organization that provides food assistance to people in need. The pantry collects food through a partnership with Mid Ohio. The food is then sorted, organized, and distributed to those in need. The pantry aims to provide nutritious food to individuals and families struggling to put food on the table. We collaborate with other community organizations to identify people in need and ensure they receive the help they require. The pantry is run by volunteers who are passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in their community. The work of a Victory Center is essential in providing basic needs to those who need it most.
