“We are honored to host this gathering alongside our hospital partners to announce this critical work to alleviate food insecurity,” said Kristin Warzocha, president and CEO, Greater Cleveland Food Bank. “It is so important that we combine our efforts to do everything we can to address food insecurity and provide hope to families who are struggling right here in Northeast Ohio. When we work together on addressing food insecurity, we can make a greater impact for our neighbors and the entire community and for that I am grateful.”
The following individuals spoke at the event:
Mayor Justin Bibb, City of Cleveland
Tom Mihaljevic, MD, CEO & President, Cleveland Clinic
Cliff Megerian, MD, CEO, University Hospitals
Airica Steed, Ed.D, RN, President & CEO, MetroHealth

"The City of Cleveland is committed to a community-led all-of-government approach to food justice for all residents,” said Mayor Bibb. “This includes making it easier to acquire vacant land for urban farmers, transforming the West Side Market to support local food vendors, and recruiting healthy grocers to areas in Cleveland in historically redlined neighborhoods. Our communities continue to struggle with financial and food insecurity, and it is imperative that we address these issues collaboratively as it has significant implications for our future.”
