The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, a 501(c)(3) organization, is the largest charitable response to hunger-relief in its eight-county service territory. Regionally, the Foodbank and its network of more than 600 hunger-relief programs distributed enough food to provide 32.8 million meals in 2025. These hunger-relief programs operate food pantries, hot meal sites, shelters and other hunger-relief programs in Carroll, Holmes, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Tuscarawas and Wayne. The Foodbank's mission is to lead a collaborative network that empowers people to experience healthy and hunger-free lives. We distribute food to feed people, and we advocate, engage and convene our community in the fight to end hunger. Our vision is a thriving community free of hunger. Our values are compassion, collaboration, service, integrity, and innovation.
