Details:

South Side Roots is a cafe operated by Mid-Ohio Foodbank that provides nutritious food to the south side community. Their programs include a pay-what-you-can cafe, a weekly community meal, and a Kids Cafe meal program for students at South Side Learning & Development Center and the Boys & Girls Club of Columbus.

Join Besa and South Side Roots to provide nutritious food to our South Side neighbors! As volunteers, you'll assist with pre-bagging food and distributing carryout meals for neighbors picking up food. 

Volunteers are required to bring their own face masks and must be worn at all times. Social distancing will be observed. Limited client interaction will take place during this volunteer event.

The health and safety of volunteers is a priority. If you are sick, over the age of 60, or have a chronic health condition, it is in your best interest to stay home. Click here for more information about COVID-19.
