Meijer has donated $200,000 to the 2026 Harvest for Hunger Campaign to assist four local food banks across 21 counties in Northeast Ohio.
The annual springtime campaign is coordinated by the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley and Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.
Funds raised through the campaign help these food banks and their network of partner agencies provide meals and groceries to individuals and families facing food insecurity.
“For more than 90 years, Meijer has been dedicated to fighting hunger and supporting families in the communities we serve,” said Vik Srinivasan, chief administration officer at Meijer. “This commitment is reflected in our support of the Harvest for Hunger campaign, ensuring individuals and families in Northeast Ohio have reliable access to nutritious meals now and in the future.”
Harvest for Hunger raises critical support at a time when many families are balancing higher costs and limited resources. The annual campaign helps ensure food banks and local pantries have the products and purchasing power needed to keep shelves stocked and meet increased demand. The 2025 campaign set a new record, collecting more than $11 million and thousands of pounds of food to provide over 33 million nutritious meals for local hunger relief.
Meijer’s donation will support the four coordinating food banks and their partner agencies serving Northeast Ohio communities throughout the campaign period. This is the third year the retailer has supported the Harvest for Hunger campaign.
