Are you familiar with the "Paper Plate Project." This project asks the clients of these agencies to write on a paper plate a description of their present life situation, how the current economic climate has impacted their lives, and what Ohio Foodbanks mean to them. The plates are then photographed. Organizers hope to collect 50,000 plates, which will then be taken to legislators at the Ohio State House.
Our Grace volunteers helped collect these plates while serving at St. John's Food Pantry and the Open Hands Free Store. Our plates are not posted yet, but you can view what clients wrote at other agencies across the state (including the Clark County branch of the Second Harvest Food Bank). Follow this link view photos of the plates that have been posted.
Many in our community and country don't grasp how vast the need for food is. Hunger is not only a problem in other parts of the world. People in Springfield are also starving. The stories you read are quite touching.
You can help by bringing non-perishable items with you to church. Place them in the grocery cart in the fellowship hall.
