We’re one holiday into the holiday trifecta. The next one, Thanksgiving, is the one where a magical thing happens. People start to realize the gifts they have been given, as well as, realizing that there are many people who haven’t been so lucky. While our charity of the month selection is one that is around all year we wanted to help them provide a little bit of extra sparkle this holiday season to those in need.

In 1971 Frank Gerson started The Freestore Foodbank. He saw dozens of household items being tossed away. As a result, he started to collect them to pass out to individuals who needed them the most.
The Freestore Foodbank is now one of the largest food banks in Ohio. Now, the current leader of the food bank is Kurt Reiber. Although many years have passed since Frank Gerson created the food bank, with the leadership of Reiber, the Freestore Foodbank’s mission remains the same.
