HUNGER NETWORK OF GREATER CLEVELAND

Stopping Hunger in its Tracks


What began as the Hunger Task Force thirty years ago, with just four food pantries has evolved into the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland with over 100 pantries and hot meal programs strategically placed throughout Cuyahoga County.

Through this organized network of food pantries and hot meal programs, the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland is able to feed nutritious meals to 60,000 each month and 25,000 of those are children.

Hunger Network centers are strategically placed in areas within Cuyahoga County where there is the most need.

The Board of Trustees of the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland is comprised of 34 members who are responsible for the finances and all decisions pertaining to the organization. The Board meets six times per year.

Dana Irribarren is the Executive Director of the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland. She manages a staff of ten plus 1000 volunteers who feed thousands of hungry people each month. Working to help the hungry is her mission and her passion.
