School is out, but our kitchen team is in. When summer arrives, many children lose access to reduced-price and free school meals, straining families. Each day our kitchen staff and volunteers prep thousands of extra meals for partners across Greater Cleveland.
This week, we celebrated the #FoodForFreeThrows campaign, presented by @GiantEagle!
With 7️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ Cavs free throws made at home this past season, Giant Eagle donated $19,250 to Greater Cleveland Food Bank! Following the check presentation, volunteers from both organizations teamed up to give back to the Food Bank by relabeling and repacking 10 pallets worth of French fries!
We’re grateful to the @Cavs and @GiantEagle — their Food for Free Throws campaign helped us provide nearly 40,000 meals to neighbors facing hunger across Northeast Ohio. Thank you for representing Cleveland so well on and off the court! #WeFeedGreaterCLE@CavsCare
We are so grateful for the partnership of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation—a philanthropic arm of @ElevanceFDN —and @FeedingAmerica in making this work possible! #FoodAndHealth#FoodAsMedicine

When neighbors have consistent access to nutritious food, their health improves. That’s what the nation’s largest Food as Medicine evaluation just confirmed, and we’ve seen it firsthand here in Northeast Ohio. Program participants reported an average of 10% fewer ER visits.

We were thrilled to have such strong support from state elected officials at this week’s West Side CRC Unveiling!
Their support means so much - not just on this day, but as they continue standing with our neighbors in need and helping advance the fight against hunger.
The CRC will bring nutritious food, benefits assistance, healthcare navigation, workforce services, and more together under one roof. Thank you, Congresswoman Brown, for championing food security in Washington, and for investing in a stronger, healthier Greater Cleveland!
We are deeply grateful to @RepShonte Brown for her unwavering partnership in the fight against hunger!
Congresswoman Brown joined us Tuesday as we unveiled plans for our new West Side CRC at 9830 Lorain Ave., and her support is making a transformational difference.
