Story

The Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank Inc., is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization. Our mission is to enable other community organizations to end hunger. We strive to maximize community resources by effectively obtaining and distributing food through a food collection and distribution system. We solicit, collect and store donations of surplus food and grocery products from all segments of the food industry, as well as solicit and collect monetary donations for the purchase of food products, and then serve as clearinghouse for these foodstuffs for agencies, such as food pantries and day care centers that feed the hungry throughout the region, providing them access to wholesome food. Our qualified agencies distribute the collected foodstuffs to the hungry in Northwest Ohio. In Northwest Ohio, the Food Bank is exclusively affiliated with Feeding America, formerly known as America’s Second Harvest.
