Customers of Sparkle Markets will have the opportunity to Check Out Hunger and feed hungry families in Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties.

Through April 11, customers may tear off a $1, $5, or $10 coupon available at the register that will be added to their grocery bill.

Customers may also donate non-perishable food items by placing them in collection bins at the front of the stores.

Last year, Sparkle Markets raised $9,144 through the donation coupons, which enabled the food bank to distribute $100,584 worth of food to those in need.

The campaign is a collaborative effort of four food banks, including Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.

All funds raised and food collected in Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties will remain in the community.

In 2019, the Food Bank distributed 11.5 million pounds of food, including 3.4 million pounds of produce.
