Food pantry at Adams County Fairgrounds to help families Tuesday
Families in need can pick up free food at West Union's fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday. Bring photo ID and recent mail, and call (513) 672-3720 with questions.
Families in need in Adams County can stop by the Adams County Fairgrounds in West Union on Tuesday, June 23, for a Food for All mobile pantry run by Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio. Distribution is set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 836 Boyd Ave., and the organization says all families in need from the community are welcome.
The pantry is designed as a low-barrier stop for households that need short-term help with groceries. Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio said the food is both purchased and donated from the Freestore Food Bank, then set up at the site with help from local partners and volunteers who handle distribution for the day. The agency’s mobile pantry travels each month to Adams County and five other counties, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Highland, bringing food assistance into rural communities where access can be harder.
Recent pantry notices for Adams County say participants should bring a photo ID and a recent piece of mail showing a current address. Those notices also say TEFAP eligibility rules may apply, including an income limit at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. People with questions can call Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio at (513) 672-3720.
Outside listings describe the Adams County Food for All pantry as a free program for county residents, typically held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Pantry visitors generally receive between 20 and 40 food items, along with fresh produce, giving families a practical haul that can help bridge the gap when budgets are tight.
The West Union location also matters. The Adams County Fairgrounds is a familiar central site for residents from Manchester, Peebles, Seaman, North Adams and the unincorporated communities in between, making the pantry easier to reach without long travel. That access is especially important during the summer, when school meal routines shift and many households face extra pressure.
Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio said it served nearly 24,000 people in 2025 across its broader network of local services, underscoring how much demand remains across the region. In Adams County, the fairgrounds stop gives families a clear place, a narrow time window and a straightforward way to leave with food on Tuesday.
