The Main Place provides a continental breakfast and hot lunch Monday through Friday for a very low cost. We can do that because of the generous donations we receive from Food Pantry Network of Licking County and Mid-Ohio Food Bank.

As you can see, there is an increasing need in our communities, but there is also an increasing strain on those supplying resources that allow agencies like The Main Place to provide a meal at a cost the agency can afford. Please consider giving a donation to Food Pantry Network of Licking County or Mid-Ohio Food Bank as the demand for their resources are ever increasing and their access to resources becomes more and more difficult.

We don’t need always to talk about what is going on inside of our head

We don’t need always to define and express ourselves and defend our actions even if it’s wrong

Words do fail to express a lot when you are in pain or feeling sad.

Sometimes all what we need is a little more love.
A little more silence and peace, a little more real things.

A tight hug and warm hand to calm our soul down.

We have been through a lot of wars inside of our souls seeking for peace.
