Celebrating the Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s Dedication to Community

Commited to Cleveland - Greater Cleveland Food Bank - September 2024 CPF Community Partner of the Month

The Greater Cleveland Food Bank has provided much-needed food to those in our community regularly and consistently for many years. To gain perspective on how effectively they serve the community, I reached out to Lieutenant Marcus Montanaro from the CPD Fifth District, who shared:

“The Greater Cleveland Food Bank has countless services that move around to various locations to provide assistance to those in need. They also provide an avenue for caring members of the community to volunteer to help those in need who may not have otherwise become involved. This includes members of the Cleveland Police Department, which helps showcase the department in an extremely positive light.

Throughout other tough financial and staffing challenges, somehow, someway, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank has always managed to continue its programs to help the community, most notably showing their commitment to Cleveland’s Fifth District Police Officers and the entire Collinwood Neighborhood.”

It is because of their commitment to the community and our Fifth District officers that the Cleveland Police Foundation is honored to name the Greater Cleveland Food Bank our Community Partner of the Month for September 2024.
