Walgreens stores are now participating in 'Check Out Hunger,' a component of the Harvest for Hunger campaign. Customers can make a $1, $5 or $10 donations at the register at any Walgreens in Mahoning and Trumbull counties through Oct. 29. All donations will go to help feed hungry families in the Valley.

Mike Iberis, executive director of the Food Bank, said, “We greatly appreciate Walgreens’ participation in the Harvest for Hunger campaign again this year.”

In 2019, Walgreens stores in the Mahoning Valley raised $10,382 through the Harvest for Hunger campaign, which enabled the Food Bank to provide 62,292 meals to hungry families in our community.      

Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley, a member of Feeding America, provides food to those in need in the tri-county area through 160 programs provided by hunger-relief organizations, which include church pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, shelters for battered women, and after-school programs. 

In 2019, the Food Bank distributed more 11.5 million pounds of food, including 3.4 million pounds of produce.  For more information on the Food Bank, please visit www.mahoningvalleysecondharvest.org or call 330-792-5522.
