Summit County Food Resources

November 3 Update: We are aware of the federal administration's announcement that partial November benefits will be provided to SNAP recipients. At this time, we have no details regarding this process or when benefits will be available. We will share more information when it is available. 
 
More than 77,000 Summit County residents in nearly 43,000 households rely on SNAP, which provides an average of $15 million per month in food assistance. However, as of October 27, Congress has not passed a federal budget or appropriated funding for the continuation of the program. According to a notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there will be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits for approximately 42 million individuals nationwide beginning November 1.
 
Residents in need of food assistance can visit https://www.akroncantonfoodbank.org/ or call 2-1-1.
Below is a list of available food pantries in Summit County. 

 

METRO Regional Transit Authority will temporarily waive fares on METRO Direct and ADA services for Ohio Direction cardholders starting November 1, 2025, until further notice. More info, including food pantries located along METRO Direct Routes, is available at https://www.yourmetrobus.org/snap-benefits-program.aspx. 

 

Summit County will continue to provide updates to residents as it becomes available. 
 
NOTE: Ohio WIC benefits are available now and will be available on November 1, 2025. Please call your local WIC clinic with any questions.
