Feeding Medina County, the county's biggest food pantry, is working to meet the high demand of food insecurity.
MEDINA, Ohio — One out of every 10 in Medina County is struggling to put food on the table, and Feeding Medina County, the county’s biggest food pantry, is working overtime to lessen that struggle.
“I think a lot of it has to do with things like inflation. Prices of goods are going up. The price of food has been climbing steadily for the past year. We’ve seen natural gas prices go up, fuel go up, just everything is more expensive,” she said. “We’ve heard from a lot of clients. We’ve seen a lot of tears,” said Fuerst. “I heard from a senior the other day who said I’ve been getting $400 every other month for food assistance and that’s now going down to $24. It’s a huge difference and it’s making a lot of these families going through hard times already, now going through even tougher times.”
The organization’s annual fundraiser is Saturday, March 11. It’s a Spring Forward Gala and Fuerst is thrilled that it has already sold out.“We just want to make sure that people’s basic needs are met,” she said.
