When you support Oberlin Food Hub, you invest in a food system that reflects our shared values; opportunity, sustainability and community.

Help Us Grow a Resilient Local Food System.

Whether you're a funder, sponsor, or donor, your partnership fuels the growth of small, local farms and food makers by expanding access to high-volume markets—while ensuring that nutritious, local food reaches the people and institutions who need it most.

Our partners play a vital role in expanding food access, strengthening farm viability, and building systems that work for everyone. From institutional funders to grassroots supporters, each contribution helps create a more inclusive and resilient local food economy.

Oberlin Food Hub is more than a distributor, we’re a social enterprise rooted in equity and economic empowerment. Your support helps small-scale producers scale sustainably, enter larger institutional markets, and grow their livelihoods while reducing food miles, preserving farmland, and improving regional resilience
