Food Ministries

Heart 4 the City sponsors food ministries for the community. We partner with Akron Canton Regional Food Bank to bring their Direct Distribution program to the east side of Akron on the 1st Thursday of every month. From 9-11am, we distribute approximately 16,000 lbs of food. Please bring a photo I.D. 

Every Thursday night (except the 1st Thursday of the month), our Food Pantry will be open from 5-6:30pm.  Please bring a photo I.D.
