Westerville Area Resource Ministry
Westerville Area Resource Ministry, 'WARM', is a 501(c)(3), faith-based organization, serving those in need within the Westerville School District, the 11th largest in Ohio. WARM's mission is to provide compassionate, short-term assistance, educational services and spiritual support to encourage individuals to achieve a self-sufficient life while restoring dignity and hope. WARM combats hunger and poverty with a number of vital programs to provide a 'hand-up', not a 'hand-out'. WARM provides nutritious food, education, life skills, employment assistance, emergency resources, senior services, mentoring, and service learning opportunities. In addition, WARM has adopted the Share Bac A Pac weekend backpack program that serves hundreds of children in need during the school year. In the summer, WARM operates The Westerville Area Kids Lunch Club, a free summer lunch program for children. In 2015, the Westerville Area Kids Lunch Club served 18,695 weekday lunches, 21,294 weekend backpack meals and 88,000 lbs. of fresh produce to children in need along with nutrition education, reading, enrichment, health screenings and recreation activities.
