“Early in my career, I began to see and understand the correlation between the work of the food bank and the tragic impacts of poverty, substance abuse, mental health disorders and incarceration I witnessed growing up. From that time on, food-banking became a purpose in life for me. Sharing this work with other people that see purpose in it too is among the greatest joys in life. It’s all about the people.”

Join Market District for their 2nd annual Food Truck Festival! Enjoy delicious food from local vendors and a Touch-a-Truck experience for kids of all ages to touch and explore vehicles of different shapes and sizes. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Harvest for Hunger Campaign.
Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.
In April, guests who buy one ticket for a self-guided Stan Hywet tour will receive a second ticket free with the donation of a non-perishable food item. All food items will be donated to the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.
