TOPS food pantry announces July 30 groundbreaking for new one‑stop shop
Summary
TOPS, Oxford’s local food pantry and resource center, said the nonprofit will break ground July 30 on a consolidated “one‑stop” facility funded in part with ARPA support from Butler County and the City of Oxford; the facility address and public invitation were provided during public comment at the council meeting.
TOPS, the Oxford food pantry and resource center, announced a groundbreaking for a new “one‑stop shop” facility on Wednesday, July 30, at 1 p.m. at 5445 College Corner Pike, the organization’s board president told the Oxford City Council during public comment.
The announcement came during the council’s public‑comment period, when Susie Hummel identified herself as the board president of TOPS and said the project received “generous support” from the Butler County Commissioners and the City of Oxford through ARPA funds. Hummel said the new facility will “significantly enhance how services are delivered and accessed,” and that retaining TOPS’s current buildings will allow the nonprofit to expand capacity and offer more resources to the community.
Hummel asked the public to attend the July 30 ceremony. She provided the event time and street address during her remarks and thanked the city for its support.
The council did not take action on the announcement; it was made as public comment. No specific city financing, permitting actions, or implementation timelines beyond the ceremony date were provided during the meeting.
The TOPS statement situates the project as a step to centralize services in Oxford; further details about facility design, operating budgets, staffing or long‑term funding were not specified in the presentation.
