Area libraries launch hunger campaign

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The Dayton Metro Library and the Foodbank have joined forces to fight hunger in the Miami Valley.

From August 13 - August 27, each Dayton Metro Library location will have a bin to collect food donations. Library visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations during this collection drive.

For more than three decades, the Foodbank has served as the link for food relief in the Miami Valley. The Foodbank, the only one of its kind in the area, nourishes the hunger relief efforts of the community through the acquisition and distribution of food to the hungry throughout Montgomery, Greene and Preble counties.

The Foodbank provides the infrastructure for nearly 100 member programs that serve as the charitable food relief network in the area. The Dayton Metro Library is pleased to help the Foodbank provide for our community.
