2nd Thursday of the month.

The stats as we posted on our facebook page is just devastating, and the hunger counts are going to be a lot more as SSI and SSDI went up in checks and lower in food stamps.


                                    From the Greater Cleveland Food Bank 

Food Insecurity 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies households as food insecure if they experience, at some times during the year, limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods.  A food insecure household does not have access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members.  
  • One in six residents from our six county service area was food insecure in 2016 (16.6%).  That’s a total of 308,460 people.
  • More than one in five children from our service area lived in a food insecure household in 2016 (20.7%).  That’s more than 83,000 children.
  • Cuyahoga County had the highest number of food insecure residents in the state of Ohio in 2016 at approximately 233,580 individuals.  Cuyahoga County was also home to the largest number of food insecure children in the state of Ohio, at 57,610 children.
This is from 2016 and now years later it's not getting better.
