About Our Ministries
Brinkley Food Pantry
Need food? If you live in Dayton or Trotwood, you are welcome to come between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. The only thing you need to sign up is your ID. Each Thursday, except for holidays, we are open. In the event we are closed, call United Way 211
Jan’s Closet
At McKinley United Methodist Church, we have a clothing store open weekly on Wednesdays from 11am - 12:30pm. Jan’s Closet was born out of the dream of a member with former retail experience. While we do have item limits, we offer our hand-picked items free of charge for those in need. Email administrator@daytonequity.org for more information or to volunteer!
The Gathering
Hungry for more? Join us for food, fellowship and much more each Wednesday from 11am to 12:30pm

Throughout the week, students at Roosevelt Elementary participate in afterschool programming, with training in arts, athletics, and academics. Want to get involved? Contact Rachel at 937-542-5354
