Feed People. Fight Hunger.

The number of families and individuals who live in hunger in the United States is on the rise. Many come from our most vulnerable populations - children and seniors. You can help the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank as we Feed People and Fight Hunger by providing food and other essential products to food pantries, hot meal sites, shelters and other hunger-relief programs.
