Central Ohio Unites to Combat Government Shutdown-Induced Hunger: A Massive Community Effort During the late October-early November government shutdown, Central Ohio rallied to prevent hunger for 320,000 people across 20 counties. With SNAP benefits paused, four thousand four hundred individuals, along with city, county, state governments, and charities, donated millions to keep folks fed. The Mid-Ohio Food Collective, the areas largest hunger relief group, distributed 3.4 million pounds of food, including fresh produce, eggs, milk, meat, and shelf-stable items, via one hundred truckloads to six hundred partner pantries. The communitys initial disbelief turned into swift action as demand for food spiked in November, surpassing the pandemic scramble. Thousands of individual donors, along with Columbus, Franklin County, the state, and the Columbus Foundation, contributed to the cause. Although SNAP resumed late that month, need remained high due to rising costs for food, housing, childcare, and utilities. While the donations have helped fill gaps into early 2026, leaders emphasize the need to address root causes like housing and healthcare costs for long-term solutions. Checkout Solipillow.com
