Three Ways to Get Involved

We need volunteers to help people as they choose food in the market area of the pantry. We also need people behind the scenes to work in the warehouse area, help with food drives, building maintenance, move to our new building.

There are many ways that you can help serve our neighbors. If you want more information let us know at volunteer@caring-and-sharing.org.

The pantry is located at 119 South Main Street in Paulding and accepts donated items during our regular business hours: 9 a.m. to noon Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Do not leave donations outside!

We use financial donations to purchase food we don’t receive from other means and to help support other operational expenses.

These donations can be made to the Caring & Sharing Food Pantry in care of the Paulding County Area Foundation at:

101 E. Perry Street
Paulding, OH 45879

Please indicate whether it’s for the building fund or regular operations. 

Farmers, the Caring & Sharing Food Pantry needs your support. Bounty from your fields can help feed our neighbors.

  1. When 12% of Paulding County residents deal with food insecurity (according to Feeding America), we need community support to provide them food.
  2. When the households we serve in the county increase 250% from 2021-23, and continue trending up by 30% in 2024, we need additional resources to stay stocked and to serve the people who need us.

At the time of your harvests, consider giving a gift of grain to the pantry. Caring & Sharing Food Pantry is set up to accept donations at the Mercer Landmark (all locations), Scott Equity Exchange in Scott and Cooper Grain & Feed in Paulding. Just tell them how many bushels you would like to donate, and they will make it happen. If you use a different elevator let us know, and we can set up an account there, too.

Thank you for all you do for our community. We can’t do what we do without Paulding County’s support — financial gifts, food donations and volunteers.
