Help to apply for insurance

Freestore Foodbank staff will be at the Wilmington Public Library to provide assistance with both Medicaid and Marketplace insurance applications and to answer questions.

The Get Covered Ohio initiative is a new effort in the region by the Freestore Foodbank specializing in providing support to people who need to apply for health coverage.

They will help people understand their health insurance options, enroll in coverage, and help with post-enrollment issues like finding in-network providers. Assistance will be provided to clients over the phone, virtually with Zoom, or in person.

Representatives will be at the library 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Wednesdays March 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.
