The Licking County Food Pantry Network is a distribution center for the 22 pantries in Licking County that serve emergency food supplies to hungry individuals and families. It is a Subsidiary Distribution Organization of the Mid Ohio Food Bank, and as such, participates in Second Harvest distributions. Second Harvest is the national organization that distributes food for major producers and grocery chains, making sure that it is given to the hungry instead of being dumped.
