The Dayton Episcopal Food Pantry is a ministry dedicated to helping families receive much-needed food each month. Originally, the food pantry began at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Trotwood, Ohio. In 2009, the pantry moved to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church to allow for more space and to serve a growing number of families. Since then, the food pantry has volunteers from the entire Dayton Deanery which includes 8 churches around the Dayton area.

The majority of the food the pantry distributes is purchased through the FoodBank, Inc. which is located on Washington St. in Dayton. It is through the FoodBank that we submit our monthly reports for the state.

In April, 2011, the DEFP began using the Virtual Case Manager system which allows us to more effectively serve our clients and prepare our monthly reports. The system also gives us the opportunity to complete the intake process much faster with the VCM card that is scanned each time a client comes to us for food.

We hope that as you visit our website, you will take the time to get to know the churches and volunteers in the Dayton Deanery that work together to provide this important ministry in our communities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
