YOUNGSTOWN Needed now more than ever amidst the current food assistance crisis, 21 WFMJ and WBCB are launching their 19th annual "Feed Our Valley" campaign today to collect food and monetary donations for the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley. The six-week campaign runs through Friday, Dec. 19.

The initiative, which began in 2007 after former news staff learned of children attending school hungry, aims to combat food insecurity across the Mahoning Valley, with all donations staying local.

A Long-Standing Legacy of Giving

Over the past 18 years, the generosity of viewers has helped the campaign provide a total of more than 11.4 million meals for those in need. This includes over $2 million in monetary donations and more than 1 million pounds of food.
