'Heroes Against Hunger' Returns for Eighth Year


Area safety forces are once again donating their time to help deliver meals during the July and August as part of the annual "Heroes Against Hunger" campaign for Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties.

"This has been a popular and successful annual campaign," said Teresa Barry, CEO of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties. 'Our local 'heroes' – the dedicated men and women of area police and fire departments – have a chance to meet the people they protect and serve in a non-threatening, one-on-one situation. The clients enjoy it as much as the officers and firefighters do, and we're grateful to the participating departments for taking time out of their schedules to assist us."

Area heroes participating from the two counties include: the Stark County Sheriff's Department; the Alliance, Canal Fulton, Canton, Perry Township and Plain Township fire departments; and the Canton, Doylestown, Jackson Township, Louisville, Perry Township and Wooster police departments.

Officers and firefighters from participating departments will deliver meals from the Meals On Wheels sites that serve their respective communities in the two-county area.
