Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others.

Akron Canton Foodbank provides food and other essential items to hunger-relief programs in eight Northeast Ohio counties. These member programs operate nearly 500 food pantries, hot meal sites, shelters, and other hunger-relief programs in the neighborhoods and communities where people need food. Some of the tasks may include sorting and inspecting food donations, labeling product for repackaging, or packaging bulk items.

The Walls Community School Garden objective is to teach elementary students the importance of planting and the great impact this garden can have on the community. This garden brings community members together and serves as a teaching garden for Walls Elementary
