In a much earlier post, Worthington Ohio I wrote "What's happening in Worthington now? There are two weekly papers to keep you up to date, as well as the Columbus Dispatch. " And added links to the two weekly papers that serve the Worthington area, This Week News and the Worthington News.
This week there's the usual news of sports, the seasonal news of graduation and summer starting and timely news about food... each paper has a story about a food pantry. A local food pantry will open this summer, there is a need in the Worthington area, and a Worthington school planted a garden to grow food and will donate it to a food pantry run by a near by Church, in the Brookside / Smoky Row area:
This Week News Worthington
"Brookside sows a garden in the schoolyard"
Worthington News
"Planners: Need for local food pantry is real"
Brookside Elementary School is located in Perry Township. Smoky Row Brethern Church that the elementary's garden will benefit is in the City of Columbus.
The local Worthington food pantry will be on the grounds of the Methodist Children's Home in the City of Worthington, on North High Street. Referrals to the program will be through FirstLink. The local food pantry is being developed by Healthy Worthington Coalition
the Worthington News (SNP) article by Rosemary Kubera says " Food and cash donations may be dropped off Saturday mornings at the Food for Families table, staffed by Healthy Worthington at the Farmers Market along High Street.
Volunteers are needed to staff the pantry, take registrations, pick up donations and package food, among other jobs."
