  • Geauga Hunger Task Force   ( 1 Article )

    The Geauga Hunger Task Force was established in 1977 to serve the emergency food needs of our county. This organization is a coalition of churches and social service agencies. It is completely dependent on the generosity of civic-minded individuals, agencies, and area businesses. The Chardon United Methodist Church has supported this mission for many years, through the food pantry at Pilgrim Christian Church.  There are seven neighborhood-based food pantries that distribute food throughout the county.

    • Burton Congregational Church
    • Chagrin Falls Park Community Center
    • Christ Presbyterian Church (Chesterland)
    • First United Methodist Church (Middlefield)
    • Grace Lutheran Church (Thompson)
    • Pilgrim Christian Church (Chardon)
    • Newbury United Community Church


    The Geauga County Department of Human Services provides an after-hours pantry. Volunteers from this pantry along with community leaders form the GHTF Executive Committee who defines the mission and policies. Residents in need of food use the Infoline Volunteer Center at 211 or 285-3194 and Copeline at 285-5665 to request assistance.  The Geauga Hunger Task Force and this community thank you for your continued support.

  • Harvest for Hunger   ( 1 Article )
    Harvest for Hunger, an annual community-wide food and funds drive and one of the largest in the nation, raises critical resources for local hunger relief organizations in nineteen counties, including Geauga County. Last year, the dollars and food donated through school, church, supermarket and workplace fundraising efforts as well as sponsorships and special events enabled four regional food banks to distribute enough food for nearly 10 million meals for local individuals and families in need.
