2010 Campaign

Donate Now!

Harvest for Hunger, one of the nation's largest food and funds drive campaigns, is a coordinated effort of 4 Foodbanks in Northeast Ohio that provides critical resources to local hunger relief organizations in 21 counties.  Your support is needed as high unemployment has forced more people to turn to local hot meal programs, food pantries and shelters for assistance. 

Listen to Dan Flower's comments from the 2010 Harvest for Hunger Kick-off.

Harvest for Hunger runs the entire month of March.

Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank Goal:  $700,000
