About Our Data
The Mahoning Valley Food Finder is designed to help connect community members with local food pantries and emergency food assistance programs. Our mission is to make it easier for those in need to find help in their area.
All data provided by this application is sourced from the Help Network of Northeast Ohio, a comprehensive directory of health and human service organizations serving the Northeast Ohio region. The Help Network maintains up-to-date information about food pantries, eligibility requirements, hours of operation, and contact details.
