Drop off times between 10am and 1pm on Mondays and Fridays. Thank you. Every Monday and Friday, Last Call Outreach pantry is a frenzy of activity as food and clothing are dispensed to those in need. The food is distributed in connection with The Licking County Food Pantry Network. Last Call is one of the first open pantries in which a family can come in and just pick up a few needed items to carry them through. All is given without charge. A hand up... not a HAND OUT Ecclesiastes 4:10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Just as Jesus ministered to each individual's need who came to Him, we at Last Call are purposed to meet the needs of those who come to us. We are a "hands on" ministry bringing the love of Jesus in word and deed through the distribution of emergency food, clothing, furniture, housing or employment. Last Call is a Christ centered ministry where the staff are people who care about those in need. The driving force behind this is God's love. We desire to give renewed hope and purpose to those who come to Last Call. Over 17,000 individuals received aid at the pantry in 2005. The U.S. 2004 Census Bureau's estimates that Licking County has 152,866 people. That’s over 10% of our neighbors seeking food. |
:::7,625::: "families" signed in for assistance in the year 2008. That's 18,575 individuals... many of which were children. Enough groceries were given to prepare 55,725 meals. The need is great! BAG AND DELIVER Volunteers needed:

And Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... ...'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew:25:35-40 |
