COLUMBUS, Ohio – Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA) is excited to celebrate our impact and partnerships in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio at Side by Side 2026, a fundraiser benefiting children in Cleveland and across Ohio. Guests will enjoy food and drink pairings while learning how they can help nourish children’s bright futures by supporting CHA, which provides nutritious meals and food education to Ohio’s children right where they are, every day of the year.
Nearly 180,000 children in Northeast Ohio — and over half a million across the state — live with food insecurity, meaning they don’t have access to enough food to thrive. Cuyahoga County is one of three Ohio counties with a childhood food insecurity rate above 26%.
Side by Side will also feature a bourbon pull and silent auction to raise funds for CHA’s programs. Last year’s event raised $35,000, helping ensure thousands of children received the nutritious meals they need to reach their full potential.
Tickets and more information are available at https://childrenshungeralliance.org/side-by-side-2026/.
