Now more than ever, it’s important that we acknowledge the best of the best here in Columbus: Those who are feeding the hungry, showing community passion in their art and city pride in their athletics.

Best of the Bus is CityScene Magazine’s Annual Reader survey. You nominated. You voted. Now, here are the results!

Thank you to all the participants and winners. You truly make Columbus better, which is why you’re the best. We hope this isn’t your final curtain call, but for now, take a bow.

Best Volunteer Experience 

Amidst the pandemic, Mid-Ohio Foodbank was working tirelessly to provide meals during a time when it was essential for a lot of families. During the first few months of the COVID-19 outbreak, the increase in demand heightened. By March, the Foodbank had donated 6 million pounds of food.

Previously, the Foodbank was set up so people could come in and shop for what they liked, so operations had to change quickly. Volunteers quickly transitioned to a no-touch, drive-thru model. It’s just one of the ways the Foodbank is working to stay open and stay healthy.
