The greater Cleveland food Bank is a wonderful place for people in need of food assistance, EBT assistance, any kind of rental or utility assistance. Very helpful people. Work closely with the national guard, that is a big bonus for both the greater food bank and our servicemen and women. Hands down one of the biggest organizations here in Cleveland that reach out to the community to help those in need. I've had nothing but positive interactions with the organization and their staff. Big thanks to everybody involved with this.

Rose Zak | Jan 7, 2019
Steve Polakof | Jan 8, 2019

100 percent, minus out of date, spoiled, or opened container foods. They donate to food pantries across northern Ohio, but not directly to the needy. Reason, there is no way they can employ a large enough staff to distribute directly to all the people in need. No worries, the food actually goes to those in need.
