Loveland, Ohio – The time has finally come for Loveland’s finest food pantry to open their new location!

The LIFE (Loveland InterFaith Effort) Food Pantry announced Tuesday that they will be holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new location, 541 Loveland-Madeira Road, on Thursday, September 10th at 4 PM. 

LIFE moved locations from Prince of Peace to Shopper’s Haven in Loveland because of the growing demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the press release sent out by LIFE it stated:

“LIFE is increasing capacity in a new space that will allow us to serve even more residents in need. This move is critical for the ever-growing demand during COVID-19. The new location will provide:
• capacity to store and serve an increased amount of food and supplies
• a more dignified experience for our clients
• the capability to extend hours of operation
• space for our volunteers to stay safe by following social distancing regulations
• closer proximity to many of our clients
• an adjacent outdoor area to host food drives”

Although LIFE’s amazing staff would love everyone in the community to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, invites are limited due to the COVID-19 restrictions. If you would like to attend the ceremony contact Linda
Bergholz, Executive Director, at [email protected]. If you would like more information on the ceremony or would like to view the invite click the following link here.
