As we honor veterans on November 11th, it may be shocking to learn that more than 1 in 4 local households seeking food assistance from Second Harvest contain a veteran or an active member of the military.

Since its inception 32 years ago, the Holiday Cheer campaign has raised over $900,000 for Second Harvest, equaling millions of meals for families struggling with hunger. A community effort led by Burger King, WOBL 1320 AM, and WDLW 1380 AM, Holiday Cheer raises money for Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio each holiday season.

Fighting to End Hunger One Bowl at a Time: Saturday, October 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bleser Park, Avon Lake. Enjoy some soup, bread, education and entertainment for a cause.

Your generosity made the tenth annual Generous Helpings a success!

With a brand-new building that has tripled the capacity of our former facility, we are already receiving over 25% more food than last year. To meet the increased demand, we recently purchased a new truck with the support of 16 clubs from Rotary District 6600, which made a generous $36,000 contribution toward the purchase. With the addition of this truck to its fleet, we can continue to safely and efficiently deliver fresh food to our 4 county service area, serving thousands of families in need.
