The Dayton Metro Library has partnered with The Foodbank to become an official Pantry Partner location in Montgomery County, with ten select DML Branches (the Burkhardt, E.C. Doren, Huber Heights, Miamisburg, Northwest, Southeast, Trotwood, Vandalia, and West Branches, plus the Main Library) opening Partner Pantries on a monthly rotating schedule beginning Monday, October 17.
Adults in need of food assistance who live in Montgomery County will be eligible to stop into one of the Pantry Partner-designated Branch locations listed and pick up an emergency box. Patrons may
visit a pantry once a month, must be 18 years of age or older, and need to bring a photo ID and proof of residency for Montgomery County (such as a utility bill or mail with their name and address).
The emergency boxes contain only food items. However, during DML’s collection drives, donations of personal products may be made, so patrons can request those at their pantry location and receive on a first come basis.
