Ohio Food Program (OFP)

The Ohio Food Program (OFP) makes nutritious, shelf-stable food and protein items available to Ohio’s 12 Feeding America foodbanks. Through funding made possible by the State of Ohio, and in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and dozens of vendors and producers, the Ohio Food Program provides millions of pounds of center-of-the-plate foods to hungry Ohio households each year. The association receives bids, awards contracts, and distributes purchased food to member foodbanks, which in turn distribute that food throughout Ohio.

• All products must be sourced and processed in the USA (with a few exceptions)
• Bids are conducted at least three times per year.
