Caring for Each Other
Because no one in our community should go without — not today, not ever.
Our Community Hunger Center
When hunger hits home, so do we.
Providing emergency food, clothing, hygiene items, and support with dignity and care across Northern Summit & Portage Counties.
We relieve the stress of food insecurity by offering a monthly seven-day supply of fresh, frozen, and non-perishable food — plus essential items for everyday living.

Every day, families in our community are making difficult choices between paying bills and putting food on the table. Your donation helps ease that burden by providing nutritious food, essential items, and a sense of hope when it’s needed most. No gift is too small—each one makes a real difference in the life of a neighbor. Together, we can ensure that no one in our community goes hungry or without neccessities.
Meeting Needs with Compassion and Care
At Our Community Hunger Center, we provide more than just food — we offer hope and practical support during life’s most difficult moments. Through emergency food assistance, clothing, hygiene items, and household supplies, we help families in Northern Summit and Portage Counties meet their most basic needs.
We also go further:
We connect our clients with vital benefit programs like SNAP and utility assistance.
We help individuals apply for services they may not even know they're eligible for.
We offer delivery for those who can’t reach us due to special circumstances.
During Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, we make the holidays brighter with meals, toys, and treats for children.
We work alongside churches, businesses, and community partners to make our services stronger and more accessible.

A Legacy of Caring for Our Neighbors
Just A Little Help Can Make Their Hearts Happier.
Our Community Hunger Center was founded 25 years ago in the Old School House in Macedonia by Carol A. Robinson, whose mission was simple: treat every neighbor in need like family. That mission still guides everything we do.
Over the years, with the help of generous community support, dedicated volunteers, and kind donations, we’ve helped tens of thousands of families facing food insecurity and financial hardship. Because when life gets hard, no one should feel alone — especially not in our community.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a Choice Pantry member of the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank, we operate with accountability and integrity. We’re also proud members of the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, working hand-in-hand with local partners to serve more families, more effectively.
We don’t just serve the community — we are the community. As long-time local residents, we know the challenges our neighbors face. We listen with care, connect people with helpful resources, and offer practical support in moments when it matters most.
