“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.”
Shop at participating retailers including Buehler's Fresh Foods, Dave's Supermarkets, GetGo Gas Stations, Giant Eagle and Heinen's Grocery Store and ask your cashier to add a donation for your Foodbank at checkout during Check out Hunger.
