West Ohio Food Bank statements on immigrant influx and food supplies at their warehouse


Recently, Allen County Commissioners, along with the City of Lima Mayor, and others, met to discuss the increasing population of immigrants to our area, especially from Haiti.
 
The question of how does an increased population to a region affect food supplies, and specifically the operation of food banks, as well as pantries, shelters, etc. has been brought up.
 
Tommie Harner, CEO of West Ohio Food Bank, which covers 11 counties in West Central Ohio, responded to these questions.
