In 2018, the FPN of Licking County established an endowment fund managed by the Licking County Foundation. The Endowment Fund provides investment income that allows us to procure and distribute food to low-income families for future generations.

If you would like to support our future efforts, please designate your gift to the Endowment Fund on the gift form below.
