Oh-Go

Ohgo's mobile food pantry has accomplished the following in the year 2022: ohgo has stepped up in new innovative ways. In the year 2022 ohgo volunteers have served 79,423 individuals enough food for a total of 776,697 meals. We have increased serving our homebound senior and disability population from 140 to now 400 monthly home deliveries. We have increased serving our child population from 500 to now 2,900 monthly. We have made it our mission to meet people where they are. Three ways we've done this is by increasing home deliveries, the addition of 34 on-site local school pantries serving 26,434 students, and the introduction of using food as medicine to treat chronic disease as well as fight food insecurity. We've been able to do this through our latest project - the invention of a temperature?controlled locker unit, housed in health clinics, to provide immediate dietician approved foods to those most in need, battling chronic conditions.

Our latest project, the be well box food lockers, we have served 370 clients currently seeing a provider for a chronic condition that they are battling. These clients are also experiencing food insecurity. The food they receive is not only free to the client registered to the program, they also receive nutrition education, recipes, and one?on?one guidance from a partnering dietician. Over 50% clients that have participated in the program for at least 3 months or more have already lost weight and lowered both systolic and diagnostic blood pressures.

We were able to deliver 3,200 age-appropriate gifts during ohgo's project happy 2022, with the help of 400 volunteers. Gifts were delivered door- to-door in an effort to reach those who lack transportation and experience difficulty accessing other services and resources on their own.

We are committed to inspiring life-long contributors to society by facilitating acts of kindness with in the community, delivering goods through a mobile service to disadvantaged children, and offering learning experiences within their local environments that encourage every individual to become a catalyst for positive change.
