Second Harvest annual Harvest for Hunger campaign underway

Wednesday, February 18, 2015

YOUNGSTOWN — Ridley Clark, Emily Caguiat and Taylor Reynolds, 11- and 12-year-old girls from Montessori School of Mahoning Valley, ran a food drive at their school that garnered 140-150 items for the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley’s Harvest for Hunger.

The 24th annual Harvest for Hunger campaign, which kicked off today, is a food and funds drive that takes place in March and April to help stock the food bank’s shelves for the spring and summer months when donations taper off.

Financial contributions also can be made at supermarket sponsor Giant Eagle by tearing off a $1, $5, or $10 coupon at the register Sunday to April 11, and at participating Sparkle Markets and Walgreens locations March 1 to April 11. Donations are added to the customer’s bill.
