Join the Campaign to Fight Hunger and Support Local Families

Harvest For Hunger is an annual springtime campaign and collaborative effort of four local food banks across 21 counties to help fight hunger in Northeast Ohio. It is coordinated by the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.

The Harvest For Hunger campaign is one of the largest annual, community-wide food and funds drives in the nation. Now in its 33rd year, the campaign raises critical dollars to provide nutritious food. This annual campaign is more important than ever before. It brings together the Northeast Ohio community and allows neighbors to help neighbors. Our local Giant Eagle and GetGo stores offer customers the opportunity to donate funds at the checkouts and gas pumps.
