Welcome to People in Need, Inc. of Delaware County, Ohio (PIN).

We help Delaware County residents with immediate emergency needs possibly created by job loss, break-up of the family, illness, death, or other unexpected financial emergencies. We do not believe we are solving all of the people's problems by simply handing out food or paying utility bills. We see the immediate emergency need as a symptom and not the problem. Our role is to provide assistance with the immediate need and to take a look at the total needs of the family unit. We work with the family or individual to identify appropriate referrals, using all available community resources.

• In the first year of operation which was 1981, PIN provided food to 535 people through the food pantry.
   
• In fiscal year 2016 (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016), PIN supplied assistance to over 20,700 individuals in Delaware County.
   
• Volunteers donated 11,358 hours of time last year.
   
• Volunteers help with food sorting, food pantry preparation and distribution, administration and special events and are the lifeblood of PIN. The 2016 Holiday Clearing House provided food, new clothes, new toys and gifts for 536 families (860 children and 863 adults) and 188 homebound senior/disabled residents.
   
• Over 95% of the people accessing our Emergency Services Programs are employed or have a stable source of income but are unable to make ends meet.
