Support the SSCM

The Southside Community Ministries (SSCM) Food Pantry provides nutritious food to those in need in Merion Village and surrounding Southside neighborhoods in Columbus. The pantry has been located at St. Paul United Church of Christ (UCC), 225 East Gates Street, Columbus, Ohio, since 1984. All pantry food is purchased through the Mid-Ohio Foodbank or donated by individuals, churches, and other organizations. Pantry storage shelves, refrigerators and freezers were provided by a grant from the Children’s Hunger Alliance and the Walmart Foundation. A nurse and a social worker are available for clients periodically through the City of Columbus Pride Program.
