The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank's Harvest for Hunger Campaign will provide up to 4.5 million meals to help local residents battle food insecurity while thanking nearly a dozen organizations in Summit and Stark counties—about 100 local groups have contributed amid rising grocery costs and funding cuts. The campaign partners, including Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Akron Children’s Hospital, and Giant Eagle, will support efforts across 21 Northeast Ohio counties.
