How Can I Help?

External link opens in new tab or windowWoman doing shopping for elderly neighbor There are many ways you can assist Our Community Hunger Center in our mission to feed our hungry neighbors in the Twinsburg, Ohio area. We need both in-kind donations and financial support. Monetary donations can be made via PayPal (click the button in the top of any page of this website) or by mail.  Donors names will not be shared outside the organization.  We will pick up financial and/or in-kind donations if you give us a call. In-kind donations of food (fresh, frozen, and non-perishable), hygiene items, household supplies, and paper products can be dropped off at the Center during business hours; You can leave in-kind donations outside the Center if we are not there when you arrive. See the list at the bottom of the page for items that we need. We keep the list updated with the items in most urgent need.
