The City of Stow is proud to partner with the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to offer our monthly Pop-Up Food Pantry this Fri., September 4, from 9 - 11 AM at Stow City Hall (3760 Darrow Rd.).

Families can receive approximately 20–30 pounds of food, including a variety of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable items to help supplement their monthly groceries.

What you need to know:
• No pre-registration required
• First come, first served while supplies last
• Check-in is completed on-site using Foodbank tablets
• Bringing an ID can help speed up the process, but an ID is not required to receive food

If you or someone you know could benefit from a little extra support, we encourage you to stop by. Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family, and neighbors.
