From UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOLEDO
As inflation, rising consumer prices, and the impacts of federal tariffs continue to push household budgets to the brink, families across the region are facing increasing difficulty putting food on the table. At the same time, federal funding cuts to food banks have created a critical gap in resources during a time of high demand.
To address this crisis, United Way of Greater Toledo has launched “United for Food,” an emergency fund aimed at collecting monetary donations to support local food assistance efforts throughout the summer.
United for Food is accepting three-month donation commitments through May 31 to help families in need. Starting June 1, the fund will accept one-time donations to continue support through the summer.
To kick off the campaign, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur has generously provided a $2,500 personal donation to the effort.
Community members are encouraged to visit the United Way website at https://my.unitedwaytoledo.org/unitedforfood to learn more and make a contribution.
With food banks stretched thin and family grocery bills soaring, community-driven solutions like United for Food are vital to ensuring no one in northwest Ohio goes hungry this summer. Uniting the caring power of people to improve lives, United Way of Greater Toledo brings a worldwide network into neighborhoods and serves residents of Lucas, Ottawa and Wood counties.
