Canton fundraiser to provide holiday flavor
After a successful first edition, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank will be bringing back its Merry Meals Mixer fundraiser for a second helping this December.
The Mixer aims to provide samples of the Canton area’s best food, drink, and sweets. Participating restaurants include Cilantro Thai & Sushi Restaurant, Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa, and Irie Island Jamaican Restaurant. Attendees can also bid on decorated trees and wreaths in silent auctions to help further support the cause.
All money raised will go towards the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank’s efforts to provide meals and essential goods to people in need. The organization works with partners throughout Northeast Ohio to place food in 600 pantries, shelters, and other programs. The event is also supported by local sponsoring organizations like area chapters of the IBEW and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Merry Meals fundraiser will take place at the Ohio Christmas Factory, a unique interactive experience with a holiday theme. Fundraisers like this often use methods like flyer printing and local media advertising to help attract donors. The Foodbank has partnered with local media like Mix 94.1 and News-Talk 1480 WHBC to help raise awareness of the event.
The 2025 Merry Meals Fundraiser will take place at the Ohio Christmas Factory in Canton on the evening of Wednesday, December 3. The event will open early for VIP ticketholders.
