Food Pantry Guidelines

The Greater Marietta Community Food Pantry (GMCFP) has been serving families in need for 41 years. Our greatest mission is to eliminate hunger by serving families in our community who suffer food insecurity with dignity and compassion.

Families in need can receive food assistance one time per month (every 30 days) plus one emergency visit for a total of 13 visits per year.

Food pick up is located at our facility: 635 State Route 821 / Complex #1, Building 3 / Marietta, Ohio 45750 (open directions)
