In 2001, Marilyn Guittar, a 69 year-old woman who was a member of Dayspring Community Church asked if she could turn an old storage closet in the kitchen into a food pantry. Since then, her dream has turned into a fully-functioning food pantry open weekly at Dayspring. The Dayspring Food Pantry is government regulated through First Link and is resourced by the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, donations by the Dayspring community, and by the many hours of our volunteers.

Marilyn had this to say: “We minister to people when they need it. Oftentimes, we pray on the spot for people as they have need…I think God is using this pantry and us…”
