Many people are living one emergency away from hunger in our community. Today, that emergency is inflation. A lost job, a medical emergency, a changing family dynamic can all throw an individual or family living from paycheck to paycheck into a food crisis. Add today’s crippling inflation and the crisis worsens. Inflation raises prices and lowers purchasing power. Nationwide, grocery prices have seen the largest increase since 1979, leaving food banks struggling to meet the needs of increased demand from the food insecure in our communities. Lower income households are harmed the most. This includes adults, children, and the elderly. Every community in the country is home to families who face hunger on a daily basis. Locally, in the Westerville community: There are 134,000 in WARM’s service area 28,000 (1 in 5 or 21%) are living below the 200% Federal Poverty Level 12,000 children 13,000 adults (ages 18-64) 3,000 seniors (ages 65+) Your donation CAN make a difference!Read More

Planting Seeds of Love
WARM’s volunteer master gardeners have been hard at work increasing the size of our garden. The addition of these garden beds will increase the square foot of growing space in the garden from 240 square feet to 800 square feet. Last year, the garden donated approximately 250 pounds of produce to WARM. Based on the increase in square footage alone, the contribution should exceed 830 pounds this year. In addition, the new footage will allow us to grow crops that are more culturally accessible to WARM clients. The growing season can also be extended with an expanded growing space. Thank you to the master gardeners and their “green thumbs” and BMI Federal Credit Union, whose generous donation funded these gardens! You help us make a difference in our community.
