Speaker 1 (00:01):
I hope members of your audience will understand what it
is to not have any food. This week on.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
iHeart Sinsei, many listeners right now don't have enough to eat.
And among the many Tri State organizations dedicated to helping
end hunger, the Open Door Food Pantry in Hamilton has
been working for decades to feed families and individuals in
Butler County. Today I'm speaking with two board members, and
Marie Silly and Bill Menzi about how they are so
(00:32):
passionate about people in their community with the details to
find them, to get help or to give.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It, and later we are successful when that individual is
now successful in a part of the community.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And if you or someone you know is struggling from
work skills, to housing and so much more, Goodwill can help.
My guests are the director of Workforce Development at Goodwill Cincinnati,
Michael Bradshaw and the director of Retail Marketing Brian Smith.
They are here to share more about the opportunities they
offer at Goodwill in workforce development, veterans affairs, and jobs
(01:05):
for those challenged by financial or mental health issues, disability,
or other barriers. With a hand up, not a handout.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Now on iHeart Sinsey with Sandy colleagues.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
This show is here to help.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I'm Sandy Collins and today with rising prices and high
rents and low incomes, struggling is what many Tri Staters
say they are doing this summer. My first guests are
here from Butler County's Open Door Food Pantry and Marie
Silly and Bill Menzie. They're part of the nonprofit whose
mission is to feed the hungry in Hamilton. And Marie
(01:43):
and Bill, welcome to the show. Tell me what role
you fill there at the Open Door Food Pantry.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
We are both bored volunteers board members.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anne Marie has been there what about a year now,
every year and I've been there about three years now,
and we just care about this.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You tell us on your website that in Hamilton there
you have a twenty percent of the population under the
powery line, and that is much higher than the eleven
percent nationwide. The open Food Pantry opened up in the eighties.
Somebody want to go forward and tell us how it
started and what you guys do now.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It started in nineteen eighty one. There was a pastor,
as I understand, he saw a need in the community
and the building that we are in at one time
I have been told was a Kroger store and this thing,
if it has three thousand square feet, I'd be surprised.
(02:43):
But that's where it started, and it has just evolved
through the community, and many of the community leaders and
people who care have gotten involved. We have an annual
concert the first Sunday in November at the Front Street
Presbyterian Church where we have various singing talks asking them
(03:10):
to consider donating their money to open door food pantry
were I don't want to sound mean, but we don't
look for food itself because typically you get expired food
in those.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Things and it's harder to move around than it is cash.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I would imagine. We're part of.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
The Shared Harvest food bank network, and with Shared Harvests help,
we can stretch dollars so much further than the average consumer.
So yeah, in addition to just from an operational standpoint,
it's much easier to move money than it is to
move the actual food. We can stretch the dollars access
(03:54):
to wholesale food supply that the average person doesn't have.
You know, we know that, you know, roughly one dollar
still can get us a meal for a hungry family today.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So you're open three days a week for distribution.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yeah, right now, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from ten to two.
We've had to cut back, you know, that's not our
ideal operational hours. We've had to cut back to lack
of volunteers unfortunately, but also lack of food supply, so
trying to stretch the food supply, you know, lack of dollars,
you know, sign up the times, trying to stretch the
(04:32):
food a little bit further and get more people through
the doors during the week. But I know this week alone,
yesterday I was there and we served fifty people alone
in one day, which is pretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Anyone who walks through the door, they give us their information,
driver's license or some type of identification, and then we
escort them through the food.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Bank and they take X number of items whatever it is. Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Now it has been reduced to one of each item
some two and that is reduction from two twice a
month to one once a month.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah. So have any federal cuts affected your bottom line there?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
They They in particular effect Shared Harvest, which in turn
it's a trickle down, which in turn affects what we're
able to get from Shared Harvest. The dollars that we have,
the dollars that we get from donation, and what we're
able to purchase into from Shared Harvests and what's available
at Shared Harvest. You know, it's it's unfortunately a challenge,
(05:39):
so we we have to rely on community support even harder,
so work a little bit. That hence why we're here
building awareness for which isn't the which isn't the worst
thing in the world. Honestly, sometimes invention, you know, necessity
is the mother of invention. But it's yeah, it does
(06:03):
challenge us to reach out to the community.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
In December of twenty four, we could buy a case
of green beans, as an example, three dollars from twenty
four cans. In April, that same case of green beans
went to about fifteen dollars.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Wow, And that's what we pay.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
We buy them from Shared Harvests and then we give
those items to the clients.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Our food bank is unique in that we.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Provide chicken, pork products, turkey products, dairy products, no milk,
so cheese, things of that nature, pasta, I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Just everything.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And a lot of the food pantries that are in
the area do not have meat products or dairy products
at all, and I don't think many of them have
period poverty products either.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, let's talk about that. Go ahead and explain what
that is.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
With the leadership of another board member, Jane Campbell. We
received a grant from PNC back at the end of
last end of December twenty four, early twenty twenty five.
It received a grant specifically to address women's health needs,
and we chose to purchase women's hygiene products. So at
(07:34):
the beginning of roughly the first quarter of this year,
we started distributing kits and it's one month's supply of
either tampons or pads plus a pack of wipes for
women that come through either themselves and or their daughters,
so up to two kits they can choose. And we're
(07:55):
learning a lot actually about you know, the choice and
cultural and religious implications. So I'm a former consumer researcher
with p ANDNG, so I use the opportunity to talk
with some of the women and just learn what drives
the choice itself, so that we can better stock and
we can better provide what these women need and what
(08:18):
they need for their daughters and their family members. And
we've given oh my gosh, we've given out a few
thousand products so far, which has been really exciting, and
these women are beyond grateful because just like food, it
seems like women's care, women's health care products are right
up there.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
When it comes to insecurity and the.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Level of shame, the level of health issues go hand
in hand.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, it's an issue that I think emory that men
don't even think about, and that is when a female
turns about ten, she's going to start paying for something
every month until she's at least fifty. You know, for
most people, it's a very large expense if you think
about it, and especially if you don't have enough money
to eat or your housing insecure. That also is one
(09:08):
of those unseen needs that I'm so glad you're bringing
up and addressing. I know a lot of schools are
doing this now too. It's expensive and it is necessary.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's incredibly expensive. There's an incredible stigma behind it when
young girls and women can't afford the products.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
That they need. And it's not an issue.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
This is something we live with every day, so we're
trying to manage It is no different than having to
use the restroom in any given day.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
I own a business here in Hamilton.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I've been told I've got one of the if not
the best women's beastroom in Hamilton.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I've got one of the best.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
It's fully stocked with free products, and we partner with
a brand for my business. It's the same brand that
we use for the pantry that also partners with a
lot of lower income schools to provide these products.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
The brand is aunt Flow. I'll just put that plug in.
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
They're organic pads and tampons. They help educate the United
States about period poverty and the stigma is the health
challenges and the you know, as much as there is
an education and a growing awareness about food insecurity, ant
Flow is out there pounding the pavement about period poverty
(10:30):
and I'm really trying to pound that pavement right there
along with them. So with Jane Campbell's leadership on the board,
you know, when we received this money, and she really spearheaded, Okay,
how are we going to use this money and what
are the products that we're going to give away. And
I've been able to jump in and because of what
I do with my business and the bathroom and my business, so.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
It's all part of the same nession.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Okay, you can have healthy people, but if your body
isn't healthy, then you're you're always fighting half of the battle.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Tell us about your business, Anne Marie, you've got the
casual pint.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, I've got the casual pint in downtown Hamilton. I'm
one of eighteen seemed to be nineteen locations in a
very very small franchise where a craft beer we call
ourselves a beer we call them ourselves beer stros craft
beer restaurants. But you know, really more importantly, and it's
how I got to know Bill. We're connection places, you know,
(11:33):
I believe that and I both just.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Come from a long line of beer drinkers.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
You know, beer is a great yeh, beer is Beer
and food are great ways to meet people, connect with people,
and and my location, I.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hope others would agree. I think Bill would agree. It's
just a great.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Way to you know, connect with people, connect with the community,
learn about the community, to give back to the community.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I was invited by a fellow board member to try
and reach out into the community. I mean, I spent
forty seven years of my life as a professional insurance agent,
so I meet lots of people.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So what's the bottom line here? You want some donations.
You'd love some volunteers. How do we get ahold of
you guys.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Our website Opendoorfoodpantry dot org.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
There's also two other ways.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
There's a donate now button directly on the website. There
is also a contact us button directly on the website
where an email would go directly from the website. But
probably the most important for today's world is our Facebook
page and it's at Open Door Food Pantry on Facebook.
(12:48):
And probably the easiest way is just suit us a
direct message if volunteers are interested in coming out, even
just come see the place, come say hello.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's right on Front Street.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
You know, even a couple of hours away, would be
a fabulous way to bring dignity to some people in need.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We had one individual his home was a sheet of cardboard,
a sheet of cardboard, and so we gave him cans
of food. He says, I can't use them. I don't
have a can opener. We had another one said I
don't have any refrigerations, so what do I want with perishables?
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Until you get.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Involved with this, Sandy, we become accustomed to our lifestyle
and we tend to not understand and comprehend the complexities
of someone else in life that does not have anything.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
If you'd like to help out, go to their Facebook page,
their website. They would love to hear from you, especially
corporate folks that have deeper pockets and a lot of
those community service hours they want to get out of
the way.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We'd appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Thank you on behalf of the clients who will benefit
from this.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Thanks San, thank you great meeting me on you too,
meaning you toobe bye bye.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
If you missed what he said, he said, go Xavier
coming up.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
We are successful when that individual is now a successful
in a part of the community.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's next on iHeart Sinsey
I hope members of your audience will understand what it
is to not have any food. This week on.
