Many families are struggling to make ends meet and having to make difficult choices between food and other necessities. Over 80% of households served by Ohio food banks needed food assistance due to rising food costs, and 2 in 3 households reported that they cut the size of meals or skipped meals in order to make food last. 

This initiative supports the ever-growing demand for food distribution and social service programs in the six counties the organization serves. Total food distribution is at an all-time high, and of the nearly 425,000 individuals the Food Bank served last year, 25% sought help for the first time.
