Dear Livingston Church Family and Neighbors,

At the conclusion of worship last week, we shared an update that we were expecting to close on the sale of the church property this past week. That closing did indeed happen, and word is making its way through channels around town.

While we are still working on securing our next home, we want our community and friends to know that we aren't going anywhere anytime soon. The church is still the church, and we will remain in the current building, doing ministry as we do, for at least the next two years, if not longer.

We have been and remain in the hunt for the right next space, and we, as a faith community, are not closing our doors in any way. We continue to operate as we have been! While the property may have a new owner, we still do what we do in Jesus' name, so that whatever new space we do find, we will continue to be well-equipped to love our neighbors, as they are, where they are.

Produce needed for our food pantry for July!

Are you a gardener that might have excess for the above serving dates? If so please consider sharing with us. The reason for this is there will be no Shop-Through this month due to effects of budget cuts. MidOhio is hoping to have this service back up and running in August. For now we are asking for help so please consider us when you see your bounty.

My apologies for not updating this page for a while. Rosemary’s Cupboard remains open and is serving persons in Central Columbus. Please note the zip code restrictions in the information section of this page.

In January we served 71 households (146 persons), in February we served 80 households (167 persons) and in March we served 79 households (179 persons).

This month, April, we will only be open 2 days : Tuesday April 22 and Thursday April 24th.
If you are one of our usual Saturday shoppers please come on one of those dates if that works out for you.

In December our food pantry served 75 households consisting of 190 persons. Then this month (January) we served 71 households consisting of 146 persons.

The dates of service for February are Tuesday the 18th, Thursday the 20th, and Saturday the 22nd.

Please disregard any rumors that Rosemary’s Cupboard Food pantry has closed. While it is true that the physical building of Livingston UMC is for sale, ALL of the ministries and organizations that operate out of Livingston are open for business - and that includes this food pantry.

On occasion Google will show Rosemary’s Cupboard as being temporarily closed. This is because the pantry is only open on the last full week of the month. If it was shown as open all the time it would be misleading and folks would come to the church on days when we are closed. The best place to find up to date information about this pantry is on the website for Livingston UMC.

Serving residents of zip codes 43215, 43205, 43206, 43207, and 43209. Charitable Pharmacy patients outside of these zip codes are also welcome with a referral from a member of the Charitable Pharmacy staff.

This is the team involved with delivering then unloading the proceeds of a food drive held by Stewart Ave. Elementary School. Rosemary’s Cupboard is honored to have been the recipient of these nonperishable food items. Our clients at the food pantry will be well served by this generosity.
