The Cleveland Police Foundation is proud to recognize the Greater Cleveland Food Bank as our Community Partner of the Month for March 2025. This organization was nominated by Fifth District Lieutenant Marcus Montanaro, who shared the following:
“The Greater Cleveland Food Bank has provided much needed food to those in our community regularly and consistently. They have countless services that move around to various locations to provide assistance. They also provide an avenue for caring members of the community to volunteer to help those in need that may not have otherwise become involved.
This includes members of the Cleveland Police Department, which helps showcase the division 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 Collinwood neighborhood.”
It is because of their ongoing compassion and dedication—to both the community and the officers who serve it—that the Cleveland Police Foundation is honored to name the Greater Cleveland Food Bank our Community Partner of the Month.
