Hunger can make someone feel hopeless, helpless, and alone. Every day thousands of people turn to one of our over 100 partner charities for a warm meal, fresh produce, or groceries to take home to their families. Last year, the Elyria Salvation Army served about 11,000 people by providing utilities and rental assistance, emergency shelter, clothing, activities for children, and most importantly, a monthly food pantry. “About 60-70% of the food in our pantry comes from Second Harvest,” shares Rebecca Haywood, Case Manager at The Salvation Army.
