When the pandemic started, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank partnered with DoorDash to deliver groceries to residents. With that support reduced, the food bank is now seeking volunteer drivers.
AKRON, Ohio — Every other Tuesday, 72-year-old Jeanette Johnson gets 25 pounds of food, including multiple cans of fruits and vegetables, delivered to her Akron apartment.
Katie Carver Reed, vice president of the food bank, said while there is less talk about COVID, the need for home deliveries remains great. The food bank just launched a recruitment effort for its home delivery program. They're hoping to find at least 20 volunteer drivers with a goal of delivering 20,000 food boxes by the end of the year.
