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.

USx8
Because of food donations and our bulk purchasing power, a $5 donation (the price of a burrito, latte or movie ticket) really equals $40 worth of food! USx8 is a movement to create awareness among a generation strapped for cash that even giving a little goes a long, long way.
