The
Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank, Inc. is a member of Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network, which is the
largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the
United States. This year we are celebrating
our 24th anniversary in service to
Northwest Ohio.
Since our founding in 1984, we have distributed more than 66 million pounds of
food and grocery products to those in need.
The Food
Bank currently serves more than 250 non-profit member agencies in eight counties in
Northwest Ohio including Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky,
Wood and Williams. In effect, the Food Bank is a cooperative effort to
solicit, transport, sort, repack and distribute large amounts of food and
grocery products.
Soliciting food donations from national, regional
and local growers, manufacturers, packers, wholesalers and
retailers, the Food Bank distributes these products to a network of
non-profit member agencies in Northwest Ohio.
