THE HUNGER NETWORK MISSION

THE STORY: The downturn in the economy has adversely affected Ken, his wife and daughter.The market for Ken's mechanical skills has shrunk severely, forcing him to take part time work with no benefits and limited income. The food and caring that Ken and his family receive from ther neighborhood Hunger Nerwork center has helped the family through this economic slowdown.

THE SOLUTION: The Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland is the largest direct emergency food provider in Cuyahoga County. With the help of 1000 volunteers working in over 100 Hunger Network food pantries and hot meal programs, nutritious food is put directly into the hands of 60,000 people every month... 25,000 of those are children. Every day we are face to face with our community's most vulnerable citizens, stopping hunger in its tracks! READ MORE >>
