Coordinator Hub

Welcome to the Harvest for Hunger Coordinator Hub

The Food Bank has been humbled by the generosity of our community since the start of the pandemic but we know we have a long road ahead of us. It will take years for our community and our neighbors to get back on their feet, which is why the 2021 Harvest for Hunger campaign will be more important than ever before.

As we start planning for the 2022 Harvest for Hunger campaign, we hope you’ll join the over 200 companies with a shared commitment to helping our neighbors struggling with hunger and support the campaign through a variety of engagement opportunities.

We are looking forward to working with you for the 2022 campaign! If you have any questions, please email harvestforhunger@clevelandfoodbank.org or call 216.738.2140.

Thank you for your continued support!

If you are looking for ways to help during these uncertain and unprecedented times, please visit our COVID-19 page for more info.

Thank you for going above & beyond to help support the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.

We know how much work you do to make Harvest for Hunger a successful campaign, and we hope you'll find everything you need here to make your drive the best it can be!

Wrapping Up Your Drive

Financial Donations

All financial donations should be placed in one envelope and kept separate from any food donations. Checks should be made payable to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank or Harvest for Hunger and can be mailed or dropped off at the front desk or a Corporate Relations team member. Please email harvestforhunger@clevelandfoodbank or call 216.738.2140 with any questions.

We appreciate all donations, but please remember that $1 helps provide 4 nutritious meals, so monetary donations go a long way. Thank you in advance!

Food Donations

We consider your transportation of the food collected during your drive as a part of your donation. The Greater Cleveland Food Bank is located at 15500 S. Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH 44110. We can accept donations Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

To drop off food donations, please drive around to the back of the building to the dock door labeled "All Donations." Ring the buzzer, and a member of our warehouse team will be out to help you unload and weigh your items. You will receive a receipt upon completion to acknowledge and thank you for your donation!
