About M.A.S.H. Pantry and Resource Center

Welcome to MASH Pantry, a community organization dedicated to making a positive impact through compassionate service and support. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to essential resources, addressing food insecurity and promoting well-being for individuals and families in need.


Food Assistance Programs: We operate many comprehensive food pantries that distribute fresh produce, non-perishable goods, and hygiene products to those facing food insecurity. Our pantries are stocked through partnerships with local farms, businesses, community food drives, and our very own Community Honor Gardens & Greenhouse Programs.

Emergency Relief Services: During crises, such as natural disasters or economic hardships, MASH Pantry offers emergency relief services to ensure immediate access to essential supplies and support. We provided assistance following the Kentucky tornadoes, the tornadoes in Indian Lake, Ohio, and the hurricane in North Carolina.


Community Outreach and Advocacy: We actively engage with the community through outreach programs and advocacy efforts. Collaborating with local organizations and policymakers, we raise awareness about food insecurity and advocate for sustainable solutions.


Join us in our mission to create a community where no one goes hungry. Together, we can make a difference—one meal, one family, and one life at a time.
