Bainbridge Area Food For Friends

Most needed items: In addition to all non-perishable food items, the pantry is always seeking donations of toiletries (deodorant, toothpaste, bath soap, shampoo), paper goods (toilet tissue, Kleenex, paper towels) and cleaning supplies (dish and laundry detergent, all-purpose cleaner).

Drop-Off Sites: Lobby bin at Bainbridge Library and at the Pantry. Due to construction at the Town Hall, the pantry is temporarily located at Centerville Mills.

Monetary Donations may be made in the Bainbridge Area Food For Friends account at PNC Bank, Solon. Please note that in these economic times, demand at the pantry has increased dramatically. Please keep us in mind for your generous donations! Thanks!

If you or someone you know needs the confidential assistance of the pantry, please call 440-708-9829.

Bainbridge Area Food For Friends was founded in 1990 by John Bauswein and Anne Bauswein North. Now co-sponsored by Bainbridge Civic Club and Spirit of Bainbridge, it is a local entity supported totally by local donations and fundraising events. BAFFF receives no government funding.
