“The lack of food or insufficient access to food for an individual or a family can be at best disruptive or at worst harrowing. The challenge of food insecurity knows no boundaries. A sudden loss of income, a medical emergency, cumulative impacts from choices made by someone or for someone. The Akron Canton Regional Foodbank has been at the center of overcoming obstacles in the sourcing of food for all those in need. Food producers, retailers, individuals, and organization donors of time and treasure, have been consistently supportive of this effort.
