LCCAA offers convenient curbside service at its Produce Center at 204 W. 10th St. in downtown Lorain.
The center focuses on fresh food items and is designed to help stretch your budget and encourage better health.
The LCCAA program is open to residents living at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. The program is strictly designed and staffed around appointment times. If an appointment-based service doesn’t work for you, we will help you find another pantry.
Ordering windows are open from 8 a.m. Monday to 11 p.m. Sunday or until all appointments are full. Pickups are the following Wednesday and Thursday.
The LCCAA Produce Center uses the online ordering system, Order Ahead. You can find the link to the system on our website.
The first time you order, you will be asked to create a free account and to answer some questions about your situation.
Those picking up are also asked to approach the Produce Center using Reid Avenue and West 10th Street and not cut through the parking lot at 936 Broadway Ave. Please follow all signs and staff instructions. Staff will bring food orders to your car.
LCCAA operates the Produce Center in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio and Food Forward Lorain. A start up grant also came from the City of Lorain.
The center is staffed by youth assigned to LCCAA’s Youth Services program. If you have questions about the center, contact Center Manager Deirdre Paynter at 440-457-0327.
