The Ohio Association of Foodbanks is Ohio's largest charitable response to hunger. We represent Ohio's 12 Feeding America foodbanks and their nearly 3,600 member food pantries, soup kitchens, and other hunger relief agencies. Last year, our statewide network acquired and distributed over 270 million pounds of food and grocery items to people in need. We also operate a statewide national service program and a local work experience program, in addition to advocating for public policies that address the root causes of hunger and poverty.
