The families come not just from the city, but also the larger Hilliard school district. The pantry serves around 1,300 families a month, said Koppenhoefer. Kyle Koppenhoefer, Hilliard Food Pantry Board President “While yesterday may not have been as hot as some recent days, it's still very difficult for our firefighters to operate for so long and the heavy equipment and gear that they have in this heat,” Grile said. He said no one was hurt and most of the church building was saved, but that it was a difficult fire. Around 40 firefighters from four fire departments – Norwich Township, Washington Township, Upper Arlington and Columbus – fought the blaze for several hours, said Norwich Township Fire Battalion Chief Chris Grile. Koppenhoefer suggests families in immediate need visit Mid-Ohio Market on Norton Road. in the Life Community Church parking lot. The pantry will resume distributing food on Thursday at 6 p.m. And we can't serve it to the public,” Koppenhoefer said. “Even the food that was not damaged by either the fire itself or the water to put it out has been damaged by smoke. Hilliard Food Pantry Board President Kyle Koppenhoefer said that the structural damage was being assessed Monday, but it was clear that the food was a loss.
