Children’s Hunger Alliance is thrilled to celebrate our partnerships in Northeast Ohio with Side by Side, a fundraiser benefiting Cleveland-area children. At Side by Side, you will enjoy food and drink pairings while learning how you can join our efforts to provide meals and nutrition education to food-insecure children.

Nearly 180,000 children in Northeast Ohio — and over half a million across the state — are living with food insecurity, meaning they don’t receive enough food to live a healthy life. Cuyahoga County is one of three Ohio counties with a childhood food insecurity rate above 26%.

Since 1970, CHA has worked to ensure children throughout Ohio have access to the food they need to reach their full potential and thrive. All proceeds from Side by Side support CHA’s efforts to end childhood hunger in Ohio and provide healthy meals and nutrition education to children right where they are, every day of the year.
