Our mission is to fill the gap in food needs experienced by vulnerable residents of Portage County.
The Amelia DiGirolamo Center of Hope provides hot meals six days a week in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are dedicated to enhancing the nutrition of low-income families while striving to go the extra mile by serving our guests with love, compassion, and respect by providing the hope and encouragement they need.
The Christian Cupboard, our food pantry, provides orders once a month to income-eligible households. The pantry offers classic grocery staples in a choice pantry style, where our guests select what groceries they receive. We also offer assistance signing up for SNAP benefits for those that need it.
In addition to these regular services, we also provide seasonal support to further help our community. In the spring, we collect and distribute donations of Easter baskets. In the fall, we collect and distribute school supplies for children going back to school. Then during the Winter, we provide boxes of food for Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as host a toy drive for individuals and families in need.
