Hunger-Free Holidays

The holidays can be a difficult and stressful time when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from. Every day, Northeast Ohio families, seniors, and school-age kids are still struggling to access the nutritious food they need.

01/01

While some of us are making plans for special meals with loved ones, please remember the families who can't access enough healthy food to get through the week. Bring the warmth of the holiday season to neighbors facing hunger by taking action now.

Let's make Hunger-Free Holidays for everyone.

With your support, the Food Bank and our 1000+ community agency partners will be here for the holidays and beyond. With 1 in 6 individuals in our service territory at risk of hunger, your support continues to be a lifeline to our neighbors in need.

There are many ways to help this season including making a year-end gift, hosting a Virtual Food Drive, or volunteering with the Food Bank.

Commit to a Year-End Gift

We plan for our food expenditures months ahead of time – the more funding we have now, the more food and resources we can offer to our communities and plan for the year ahead. One of the most impactful gifts our supporters can give the Greater Cleveland Food Bank is a monetary donation.

Your support makes a difference: $1 = 2 meals for families and individuals in need.

Host a Virtual Food Drive

Collect monetary contributions that will directly impact people in our community. See if your company will match employee contributions.

Set up your Virtual Food Drive and share it with coworkers, family members, and/or friends — it's that simple! Click here to start a virtual food drive and raise funds today.

$10 provides enough nutritious food to feed a neighbor for a week. Challenge your coworkers to raise 1,000 - or even 5,000 - meals!
