Liberty HealthShare®, through its Sharing Hearts Fund charitable arm, has once again joined forces with five local organizations focused on fighting hunger in Stark County, Ohio.
The $25,000 in grants will help the five organizations put food on the tables of thousands of individuals and families facing food insecurity throughout Stark County. With this year's grants, Liberty HealthShare has contributed $50,000 to local hunger relief organizations through its first two annual Days of Sharing.

While food insecurity has received national attention, the challenges facing organizations working to combat hunger in Stark County extend well beyond the headlines. Rising food costs, growing demand from families experiencing financial hardship, reductions in government funding, and declining charitable donations continue to strain the resources of organizations providing critical food assistance to local families.
“At Liberty HealthShare, we believe being a force for good means making a positive difference in the communities we serve,” Morrow said. “Through our Sharing Hearts Fund, we’re able to help families facing medical challenges, support organizations fighting hunger, and bring hope to those who need it most.”
Morrow added, “Our Christian faith calls us to care for those in need. In Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus tells us that when we feed the hungry and care for others, we are serving Him. Our Day of Sharing is one way we put that teaching into action.”
All dollars awarded are generated through donations and grants that are separate and distinct from the operational funding of the Liberty HealthShare ministry. Anyone wishing to support the Sharing Hearts Fund can make tax-deductible donations—learn more about donations here.
