What you should know

In order to address the problem of hunger, first we must understand it. To that end, Hunger in America 2010, the largest study of domestic hunger ever conducted, provides an in-depth look at who is in need, how the need is met, and by whom. As one of Feeding America’s more than 200 member food banks, the Mid-Ohio Foodbank and their network of more than 500 partner agencies were proud to contribute to this study.
