Welcome To Our New Website!
In Franklin County, an estimated 400,000 people struggle with food insecurity.
Food insecurity is the lack of reliable access to sufficient, affordable, nutritious food. It is a symptom of poverty.
The average food-insecure person misses 3 meals a week. In 2025, 1.7 Million Meals were provided to 57,525 households, representing 198,735 people through weekly visits to HEART by food-insecure families.
HEART also welcomed 4,489 new families in 2025. Over 50% of the food provided was fresh: fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, and dairy.
Healthy, nutritious foods can lead to improved health outcomes & mitigated healthcare costs.
Doctors prescribe fresh produce instead of pills to fight diabetes. (Columbus Dispatch: Logan County Medical Practice’s preferred prescription is produce, not pills).
HEART is part of Mid-Ohio Farmacy, welcoming neighbors with a doctor’s prescription to shop for fresh produce once a week.
HEART nourishes hungry neighbors with nutritious food and connects them to life-building community resources so that they can flourish for a lifetime.
A community that gives back flourishes together.
At HEART, we welcome everyone who wants to get involved!
