Food has the power to do more than fill a pantry. It can bring comfort, reduce stress, support better health, and help families feel seen, valued, and cared for.
That belief is at the heart of the new partnership between Impacting Tomorrow and Jungle Jim’s International Market. We are coming together to officially celebrate the grand opening of The Market at Impacting Tomorrow, proudly sponsored by Jungle Jim’s.
The grand opening celebration took place on Thursday, June 18 at Impacting Tomorrow’s campus, located at 455 Wards Corner Road in Loveland, Ohio.
The redesigned market represents more than a refreshed space. It is a transformational collaboration focused on expanding dignified food access, improving health outcomes, and strengthening family stability throughout the region.
This year, we are on pace to serve 200,000 guests across the market, boutique, and healthcare facilities, continuing our growth from the 125,000 families previously served.
“At Impacting Tomorrow, we believe food changes everything,” said Ken Tracy, co-founder of Impacting Tomorrow. “Healthy food helps create healthier people, healthier families, and more stable communities. This partnership is about much more than food distribution. It’s about dignity, hope, reducing stress on families, and helping people move toward long-term stability.”
Through this partnership, Jungle Jim’s is providing both ongoing food support and financial investment to help strengthen and expand the market experience for families facing hardship. That support has helped bring new life to the space through updated branding, improved organization, enhanced displays, stronger product presentation, and a more welcoming shopping environment.
The newly redesigned market blends the creativity, energy, and immersive guest experience Jungle Jim’s is known for with Impacting Tomorrow’s mission of serving families with dignity and care.
Guests visiting The Market at Impacting Tomorrow will now find improved navigation, upgraded signage, better shopping bags, expanded healthier food options, engaging market flow, and family-centered design elements, including a children’s play area. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a more supportive and encouraging experience from the moment families arrive.
“At Jungle Jim’s, we’ve always believed food should bring people together and create joy,” said Jungle Jim Bonaminio, founder of Jungle Jim’s International Market. “We are proud to partner with Impacting Tomorrow to help create a market experience that treats every family with dignity while expanding access to healthy food and resources.”
One of the goals of the redesigned market is to help remove the stigma that can often be associated with food insecurity. Instead of a traditional food distribution model, the space is designed to feel more like a true market: welcoming, organized, engaging, and centered on choice.
For Impacting Tomorrow, the partnership also reflects a larger vision for community care. The organization believes lasting change happens when nonprofits, businesses, healthcare organizations, schools, churches, and civic leaders work together toward long-term solutions.
“This is a model for what can happen when organizations move beyond transactional giving and instead collaborate around long-term community outcomes,” said Jim Bonaminio. “We believe the future of community care is rooted in partnerships that create scalable and sustainable solutions for families. Of course, we wanted to start this movement by offering food to those in need.”
Together, Impacting Tomorrow and Jungle Jim’s are creating a market experience built on dignity, joy, and community – one designed not only to meet immediate needs, but to support families as they move toward greater stability.
