Our community is fortunate to have two food pantries that provide vital support to those in need. They provide perishable and non-perishable food items to help individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Operated by a dedicated team of volunteers, the food pantries serve as a lifeline for many members of our community who are struggling to make ends meet.

The Johnstown Area Food Pantry has been in operation since the 1980’s. It originated in the basement of the previous Catholic Church of Ascension.

The pantry serves residents in the Johnstown-Northridge school district. Pantry guests must provide ID and a piece of mail for proof of residency each time they come to the panty. Pantry visits are limited to once a month.

Donations for the Johnstown Area Food Pantry come from local residents, businesses, churches, and schools. Available items include can goods, eggs, meat, toiletries, etc. as well as a Kroger gift card.

Contact information pending.

The Faith Care Food Bank opened their doors on January 8, 2015. Although the pantry serves anyone in Licking County, 95% of the people served are from the Johnstown-Northridge area.

Faith Care Food Bank partners with the Licking County Food Pantry Network, whIch supplies the majority of the food offered. Weekly donations of bakery goods and meat are donated by Kroger’s, as well as fresh eggs from Trillium Farms.

The pantry is now governed by Shepherd Nazarene Church, Johnstown Campus (formerly the Faith Fellowship Church, pastored by Dan McLaughlin before his retirement).
