Jack is one of thousands of kids in our area who may struggle with hunger.

But together, we can help! No family should have to go hungry. Because of generous supporters and volunteers, your Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank and its network of food programs can help families making tough choices – like Jack’s.

Fill Jack's backpack!

  • Collect non-perishable food items to help fill Jack's backpack.
  • Collect financial donations, too. Every $1 = 3 meals!
  • Drop off the collected items to your nearest food pantry or the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.
