Our Programs

Addressing immediate needs with compassion and dignity.

Mid-Ohio Market

The Mid-Ohio Market at BGRC operates as a choice-pantry. Rather than receiving a pre-packed box of food, our neighbors browse the aisles and select the fresh produce, dairy, and shelf-stable foods that best meet their family's cultural and dietary needs.

Hours of Operation

Wednesday: 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
Friday: 12:00 PM–4:00 PM

Eligibility & Requirements:

  • ✓ Photo ID required for registration
  • ✓ Proof of address for adults in household
  • ✓ Proof of identity for children (birth cert, medical card, etc.)

Community Store

Our free clothing store provides gently used and sometimes new clothing, shoes, and small household items. Set up like a retail store, shoppers can browse by size and style with the help of our welcoming volunteers.

Community Garden

Tended entirely by volunteers, our community garden grows fresh, organic vegetables that are distributed directly through our Mid-Ohio Market. It's a space of growth, learning, and connection to the earth.

From tomatoes and peppers to culturally specific produce, the garden ensures our neighbors have access to nutrient-dense foods straight from the vine.
