This holiday season, take the opportunity to fight food insecurity as you dive into an aquatic adventure.

Back for its 10th year, Greater Cleveland Aquarium is partnering with Hunger Network for Nourish Our Neighbors, a seven-day drive collecting canned vegetables, dry beans, nut butter, whole grain cereals and other urgently needed items like toilet paper, deodorant and tampons.

Guests who drop off an item from Hunger Network’s wish list at the Aquarium ticket counter between Wednesday, November 13 – Tuesday, November 19, 10am – 4pm, receive $7 off same-day admission to the Flats West Bank family destination. 

“We’re honored to once again be able to spotlight an organization focused on building a healthier community, and we can’t wait to once again load up the truck with team and guest donations,” says Greater Cleveland Aquarium General Manager Stephanie White. 

In Ohio, 11.5% of households face food insecurity—significantly higher than the national average.

To combat that statistic, Hunger Network goes beyond traditional food banks—with its food rescue program, Midtown Market and strategically placed hunger centers—utilizing innovative collaboration to build a healthy, hunger-free community. 

As one of Cuyahoga County's largest emergency food providers, the organization serves more than 45,000 individuals each month, paying for 95% of the food directly. This makes donations, volunteers and partnerships critical to expanding their efforts.

Ready to spend quality time with friends and family while making a difference for others? Each donation of a healthy staple or common necessary equals one discount per guest—limited to one adult or child.  The offer is valid for same-day admission only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other rate or offer.
