Harvest for Hunger

March - May 2026

Harvest for Hunger is one of the largest annual, community-wide food and funds drives in the nation covering 21 counties.

Other participating food banks include the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.

The Harvest for Hunger campaign consists of corporate engagement opportunities, workplace giving drives, cause-marketing campaigns, school engagement, volunteerism, and the Check Out Hunger grocery campaign.

There are many ways to get involved, including hosting drives. Last year almost 200 companies, schools, nonprofits, and governmental entities in Northeast Ohio participated by running drives, raising over $2.7 million.

Companies can also get involved by engaging staff, matching employee giving, and participating in sponsorship opportunities. To learn more about sponsorship, please email Harvest for Hunger.

Additionally, Check Out Hunger, a cashier-led fundraising effort in grocery stores across the region, gives customers the option to make a donation at the register. Participating stores include Buehler’s, Dave’s Markets, Giant Eagle, GetGo, Heinen’s Grocery Store, and Lucky's Markets.

We look forward to working with you for the 2026 campaign! If you have any questions, please call or email Harvest for Hunger.

Thank you for your continued support!
