Hunger touches every community in America. Every day, individuals and families must make impossible choices—between putting food on the table and paying for other necessities. Yet hunger is a solvable problem. In the U.S., there is more than enough food for everyone.

The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank is at the heart of the local fight against hunger. It is the source of food for more than 600 food programs across eight counties, and directly serves people through its pantries, mobile, pop-up pantry and home delivery program.
