On February 24, Second Harvest Food Bank kicked off the 25th annual Harvest for Hunger campaign.
Harvest for Hunger is a food and funds drive that takes place in March and April to help stock the Food Bank shelves for the spring and summer months when donations taper off. Last year, Harvest for Hunger raised $194,035 and collected more than 35,000 pounds of food. All funds raised and food collected remains in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties to help feed our friends and neighbors.
