In the week leading up to November 22th, 2023, the AYLUS Columbus branch collected food and non-food donations from their own families and those in their neighborhood to be donated to the local food bank, the Dublin Food Pantry.
The food items collected include ramen, candy, cookies, canned soup, crackers, oatmeal, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, etc. The volunteers also collected a variety of non-food items needed by the pantry, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, and disinfectant wipes.
The Dublin Food Pantry provides food, hygiene products, and other resources to individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity in the Dublin, Ohio area. The branch hopes that the donation can bring some holiday cheer and relief to the underserved community that the Dublin Food Pantry serves.
