WARM Westerville

WARM is a Westerville nonprofit that began in 1972 as a church food pantry and now helps local neighbors facing hunger with food, employment support and spiritual care. Food remains at the center of its work through the Choice Market, where neighbors can get groceries, and through Share Bac-A-Pac and Kids Lunch Club, which send food home with local children. Its Way2Work program helps adults build job skills and connections toward steady employment.

Neighbors who come in meet with a client services team that gets to know each family, then gets referrals to partner agencies for rent, utilities, clothing and other essentials. Spiritual care and prayer are offered to anyone who wants them, and no faith background is required to receive services. WARM operates from a 40,000-square-foot facility in Westerville and welcomes volunteers, food and fund drives, and gifts of food or money.
