NEEDS relies on donations from many local organizations, including churches, businesses, and schools. Pantry coordinator Maureen shared this note of gratitude to Cincinnati’s International Facility Management Association chapter, whose members gave generously during the holiday season:

“On behalf of all of us at NEEDS, I’d like to thank you — and all the contributing members of the International Facility Management Association — for the generous donation of non-perishable food and personal/household care items that you delivered. 

The last months of 2025 have been hard ones for the less fortunate members of our community. The cutoff of SNAP benefits drove even more families to seek emergency food support from our pantry. In fact, the numbers of those seen rose by 50%. SNAP benefits have just recently been reinstated, and our families are also facing an imminent increase in health insurance costs. All of that testifies to how important your support  is to NEEDS. We honor and bless your commitment!”
