Who Can Shop Here?
Individuals and families who live within the City of Dublin or Dublin City School District area.

What to Expect on Your First Visit to the Pantry
Our new pantry location is now open and located at:
6608 Dublin Center Drive Dublin, Ohio 43017
- You can visit two times each month. Your first visit will be for a full shop. For your second visit, we will offer fresh produce only.
- We will give out random numbers close to our start time to determine the order in which people shop (lottery system). We will no longer be first come, first served.
- Customers coming in after the lottery will be given a number as they enter the building.
- You will need a photo ID and proof of address.
- On your first visit of the month, we will give you a blue number tag for a full shop. We will also give you a color-coded ticket that lets you know how much of each item you can take.
- On your second visit of the month, we will give you a green number tag for produce.
- Only one person from your family can go into the shopping area. For safety reasons, children are not allowed in the shopping area (except the produce only area).
- If you are a proxy picking up food for someone else, you may only shop for one family at a time.
- Please bring your own reusable shopping bags. Many grocers are no longer giving out bags, so we often do not have enough.
- Please let us know if we can improve this process!
Can someone shop for me?
Yes. You can send a proxy to check-in and pick-up on your behalf. A proxy (picking up for you) must have a copy of your photo ID, proof of residency, and a letter that includes your name, address, signature, the number of people in your household, and your phone number. The letter must also include the proxy’s name, phone number, and address. For help, please call us at 614-665-8181.
