IPM Food Pantry is a brand dedicated to helping families in need and fostering community connections to improve lives in the Cincinnati area. Going beyond the traditional food pantry model, IPM utilizes innovative approaches to expand food accessibility and redefine the concept of food assistance. They meet individuals and families where they are, treating each person with dignity and respect while nurturing a thriving community.

By focusing on the issue of food insecurity, IPM has provided vital food access to local families since its establishment in 1964 by four churches. Over the years, IPM has grown exponentially, now serving over 30 zip codes across four counties. The organization has adapted to recent challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, by implementing mobile food pantries that deliver food directly to communities in need, while creating efficient and anonymous drive-through food pantry services.

Collaborating with various community agencies and organizations, IPM distributes over one million pounds of food annually. However, they acknowledge that access to food remains a significant ongoing need and rely on the support and engagement of their neighbors to build a thriving, food secure community. Their mission is to feed families in need and connect neighbors to life-enhancing resources, with the vision of creating a flourishing and food-secure community.

IPM Food Pantry values building trusting relationships, treating everyone with dignity, meeting the needs of those they serve, leading innovative change, and educating about the benefits of healthier food choices. For those looking to contribute, IPM welcomes donations and offers opportunities to volunteer or host collection drives. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a brighter future for all
