Harvest for Hunger | Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank

Join the Harvest for Hunger Campaign by saying no to local hunger and yes to feeding families.

Harvest for Hunger Map Together, we can feed the future by refusing to let kids in our schools be undernourished. Together, we can ensure families aren’t forced to make difficult choices between necessities and nourishing food.

The Harvest for Hunger Campaign is celebrating 34 years of serving Northeast Ohioans! The Campaign is a partnership between four food banks and focuses on fighting hunger across 21 counties. This is the Foodbank’s largest fundraising campaign and helps support food distribution all year long. Support from the community is vital to ensure families struggling with hunger have a place to turn during their time of need.
