Welcome to “INPREM SPEAKS”!,From Issue 1 Newsletter

Inprem Speaks is A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER DESIGNED TO ENGAGE OUR CLIENTS, VOLUNTEERS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE IN A CONVERSATION REGARDING food insecurity, The challenges faced by food-insecure families living in Central Ohio, and what Inprem Holistic Community Resource Center Food Pantry is doing about it. Inprem Holistic Community Resource Center endeavors to engage readers with information regarding our daily operations and upcoming events as well as to generate a dialogue with the community regarding solutions to these and other issues facing families today. Before we get too far, let me share some of our history. Inprem Holistic Community Resource Center was established in 2014, as an outreach ministry of In His Presence Ministries International, Inprem Food Pantry was conceived from the churchs’ vision to feed the poor, and to give hope to the hopeless.

Inprem Holistic Community Resource Center has served the Central Ohio region and surrounding suburbs as a ‘one-stop shop’ for several years. In the first year Inprem operated as a monthly produce market and served 270 households, comprising of 87 seniors, 563 adults, and 436 children. In April of 2015 Inprem was officially recognized as a Mid-Ohio Food bank pantry partner and was able to expand services and operational hours. These expanded services included an after-school program, free diabetes and hypertension screenings, free access to technology through an on-site computer lab, free clothing and furniture, as well as referrals to other agencies when necessary.

Since these humble beginnings Inprem has served 163661 households, comprising of 65378 seniors, 341195 adults and 235816 children.

As the founder of In His Presence Ministries International and Director of Inprem Holistic Community Resource Center, I would like to welcome you to join us in our mission to provide a one-stop shop for the social service needs of Central OhioANS.
