Harvest for Hunger

Every dollar you give to the Harvest for Hunger Campaign stays right here, feeding local families and strengthening the place we all call home.

Harvest for Hunger Map When unexpected challenges cause families to experience hunger, it touches every corner of our community – it impacts our schools, neighborhoods and local businesses. Food insecurity is more than missing a meal, it’s the worry of not knowing what tomorrow will bring, it’s choosing between food and other necessities.

The Harvest for Hunger Campaign is celebrating 35 years of serving Northeast Ohioans! The annual fundraising and awareness campaign focuses on fighting hunger across 21 counties and is a partnership between four regional food banks. This is our food bank’s largest fundraising campaign and helps support food distribution all year long.

Meet Natasha.

Natasha and her husband both work full time in social services, but making ends meet is challenging, especially with daycare costs for their two young girls. Receiving fresh produce and other items from a drive-thru distribution allows her to save on her grocery bill and pay for other necessary expenses.
