Bridging the Meal Gap in Our Community Last year was a year of transition for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, and it was also a year of tremendous growth. We are grateful for the collective generosity of our community which enables us – the Greater Cleveland Food Bank – to serve our neighbors in need year after year.
and government entities, enabling us to provide access to 45 million meals last year!
A lot happened last year. Anne Goodman, our president & CEO for the past 15 years, made the decision to move on last summer. She is now serving as President and CEO of the Saint Luke’s Foundation, one of our most generous donors. Many of our most significant accomplishments were made under her watch, and we will always be grateful to Anne for her leadership.
And, we released the results of Hunger in America, the largest national study to date. The data was clear: hunger is a symptom of another crisis - a lost job, health problem, or other setbacks. Many must make the difficult choice between food and medicine or food and utilities. By supporting the Food Bank, you are making a difference in hundreds of thousands of lives. Visit any of the 800 pantries, hot meal sites, children or seniors programs and you’ll hear stories of people who are so grateful for your help.
We also opened our new Cargill Cold Storage Center, more than doubling our capacity to store and distribute perishable items including fresh fruits and vegetables. During the summer months, we had record-breaking distributions, topping over four million pounds in both August and September. This continued growth was possible through partnerships with individuals, businesses, community organizations
Yet, hunger is a reality in our community and there is more work to be done. We know there is a significant gap between available food and those who need it. In the coming year, we will embark on a new strategic planning process. We look forward to sharing the results of our plans. Together, we are bridging the meal gap in our community, with a goal of ensuring that everyone has the nutritious food they need every day.

Helping Families in Need Amanda and Charles found out about their neighborhood pantry, Middlefield Pantry, through one of their neighbors. Both work but they struggle to make ends meet.
"This pantry helps us put food on the table." Amanda is pregnant and due in five weeks. They’re going to have a daughter, Alexandria. They also have a 14-monthold, Anthony, who’s here with them today. "We want to eat healthy, but lately on a tight budget, it’s been a lot of Hamburger Helper," Amanda admits. At the pantry, they are excited to get some
fresh food today. Amanda knows how important it is for her family to have healthy food to put on the table. "I’m so glad we can get fresh produce. It can be so expensive, but so much better." Right now Charles works the late 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. shift, which is tough, but he’s thrilled to have a job. Even though they may skimp on food for themselves, they make sure little Tony’s meals are healthy – he likes vegetables. Thousands of families like Amanda and Charles struggle to eat but thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we can provide nutritious meals and hope.
