According to the Director of Communications & Special Events for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Karen Pozna, “We need the funds right now to be able to purchase shelf-stable food for our emergency boxes that we are assembling daily, as well as bags of food for the kids backpack program.”

$1 of your donation will provide up to 4 nutritious meals to someone in need right here in Northeast Ohio.
