Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland (HNGC)

The mission of the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland is to reduce hunger and enhance nutrition in our community by providing food and other health related vital services to individuals and families, and by actively and effectively participating in a coordinated response to people in need. Food-insecure clients who visit HNGC’s sites for emergency food are not simply hungry; many are also battling chronic health problems. HNGC has developed a program called Stay Well that goes beyond addressing hunger to meet critical health needs for low-income adults and seniors in our community. Stay Well helps people with chronic diseases improve their health and quality of life. The program provides no-cost services delivered by medical professionals, including blood pressure and blood glucose screenings; Body Mass Index and waist circumference tests; personalized wellness counseling; nutrition education; assistance with health care navigation and benefits enrollment; and referrals to community providers.
