Cleveland Christmas Connection falls within the Food Bank’s Hunger Free Holidays campaign window, which coincides with the traditional season of giving and reminds people to share a little extra with those who need it most. At the holidays, seasonal canned foods are appreciated by our 1000+ partner agencies across six Northeast Ohio counties that serve more than 400,000 people annually. Also, monetary donations are always appreciated because $1 donated = 3 meals our neighbors in need. greaterclevelandfoodbank.org
