Second Harvest, Charter One team up to supply food for Valley families

YOUNGSTOWN — A $10,000 grant from the Charter One Foundation to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley will provide 8,033 meals to people in the tri-county area during the holiday season.

With the economic downturn still affecting local families, hunger has been a challenge many have had to face this year, Michael Iberis, executive director of Second Harvest, said in a press release. The food bank is located at 2805 Salt Springs Road.

Charter One and the food bank have teamed up to provide 3,012 chickens through Charter One’s Carving Out Hunger initiative, an annual campaign to raise awareness of hunger issues and provide holiday meals to men, women and children in need in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
