In March 2025, Mid-Ohio Food Collective partnered with Walmart and Sam’s Club for the 12th year in a row for Fight Hunger. Spark Change., an annual campaign that lets shoppers address food insecurity in their communities by rounding up at checkout or purchasing products from participating suppliers.
The generosity of Walmart and Sam’s Club shoppers in central and eastern Ohio has allowed MOFC to distribute more food to people in need—and just how much more may surprise you! As we wrap up the 2025 campaign, we’re looking back to 2024’s donation numbers to learn the impact that Fight Hunger. Spark Change. had for us last year.
