Stark County Hunger Task Force Starts 'Beat Hunger' Campaign

Stark County Hunger Task Force: Matching funds double donations in February to help Stark County Hunger Task Force “Beat Hunger” in Stark County.

A generous donor will match all donations up to $6,000, which means every dollar donated allows us to provide up to 14 pounds of food through our network of more than 30 pantries throughout the county.

“Hearts stand out as a symbol of the month, and we ask you to show a generous heart by maximizing your gift with this matching offer. Help reach out a hand to our many neighbors struggling to put food on the table,” said Ralph Norton, SCHTF interim executive director.

Donate to the Beat Hunger Drive through the SCHTF Website (www.starkhunger.org/take-action/donate/); send a check to Stark County Hunger Task Force, PO Box 20941, Canton, Ohio 44701; call in a donation to 330.455.6667, or drop by the office at 408 9th St. SW, Canton.

“One in six individuals in this county live in food insecure households, and alarmingly, that includes nearly one of every four children,” Norton said. “Give today to double the impact of your donation.”

Founded in 1981, Stark County Hunger Task Force at 408 9th St. SW, Canton, leads the battle against hunger in Stark County. Operating almost entirely on donations, SCHTF provides free groceries to an average of nearly 28,000 individuals every month through more than 30 food pantries, “Backpacks for Kids” programs and an emergency pantry.
