United Way Lake County's
Lake County Hunger Coalition
Mission Statement: At the Lake County Hunger Coalition we believe that no one in our community should go hungry, and we are committed to making nutritious food accessible for all. We do this by uniting food pantries, shelters, schools, and anyone dealing with food insecurity to share resources, exchange best practices, and work together on sustainable solutions.
Highlights of Some of Our Recent Accomplishments
- SNAP benefits are now accepted at the Painesville Farmer's Market.
- De-Escalation Training was done for Food Pantry Volunteers.
- Healthy Choices Food Labeling training was done for Food Pantry Volunteers.
- Opportunities were created for resource sharing.
