Support A Campaign
Hunger Action Month
September
September is Hunger Action Month, when we ask everyone in our community to take action against hunger in our area, all month long. Hunger Action Month is your opportunity to join a movement that has a real and lasting impact on our effort to feed more hungry individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Whether it’s by advocating and raising awareness, making donations or volunteering, we hope you can find a way that’s right for you to make a difference during Hunger Action Month.
Harvest for Hunger
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 Food Bank, Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.
Feed Our Valley
The annual campaign that our local news WFMJ hosts call “Project: Feed Our Valley.” This is an effort to educate people about hunger in the valley and raise vital donations of food and money in order to feed our hungry neighbors.
Thank you for your interest in partnering with us in our mission to end hunger in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
