Our Mission: Providing relief to our neighbors in their time of need. People In Need, Inc.

of Delaware County Ohio (PIN) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) social services agency dedicated to providing emergency assistance to Delaware County residents since 1981. Beginning as a small pantry in the basement of a local church, PIN today has grown to be the largest food pantry in Delaware County. In 2022, we provided our neighbors in need with 418,000 meals and assisted in Emergency Services which impacted 10,000 individuals. From Mortgage Assistance and Eviction Prevention to Utility Assistance and School Shoes, PIN’s programs are all aimed at helping our neighbors maintain a healthy, quality life during their time of need. The Holiday Clearing House in December has become a staple of the Delaware County community since its pre-PIN founding in 1954. Following astronomical growth in 2020, the program has welcomed 1,000 children every year with toys and gifts, winter coats, meals, and holiday cheer.

Every $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger bag purchased at Kroger Marketplace, 1650 Sunbury Road, Delaware, donates $1 to People in Need during October and November!

It’s that simple, and it adds up fast. Each bag purchased is a small action that helps us continue to support hungry neighbors in need throughout Delaware County.
