The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Diocese of Cleveland, was honored by the Greater Cleveland Food Bank for its commitment to hunger relief in Cleveland?s impoverished Central neighborhood.
The Food Bank presented SVDP?s Woodland Food Center with the Bag of Hope Award in recognition of service to the community through both its emergency food program and its Seeds to Read early reading initiative to fight generational poverty. Will Skora, Woodland Food Center operations manager, accepted the award at the Food Bank?s sixth annual Healthy Communities, Healthy Families Conference.
Located at 6001 Woodland Ave., SVDP?s Woodland Food Center serves an area in which 90 percent of residents qualify for food assistance, according to the Food Bank.
