Lutheran Social Services food pantries strive to provide nutritious food to families in need, improve their health with nutritious food, and provide families with financial stability by giving opportunities to redirect food resources to other critical budget areas. In 2018, LSS served almost 500 households in Athens and Meigs Counties. That's an equivalent of 38,700 meals. An Athens retired client's pension isn't enough to cover basic needs. "I really appreciate the pantry. I don't know what I'd do without it." Thank you, LSS, for improving nutritious food access to those who need it most!
