Working Together for Ohio's Children

Our corporate partners are critical to the success of our work and we greatly appreciate each partner’s contribution to the well-being of Ohio’s children. Corporate partners support our work to feed the hungry minds and bodies of Ohio’s children through a variety of Sponsorship and Group Program opportunities.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Menu of Hope
Our signature Menu of Hope Luncheon is one of the most successful and well-respected fundraising events in Central Ohio, bringing together business and community leaders to recognize this issue of childhood hunger. Since its inception in 1996, the event has raised nearly $3.6 million to help Ohio children. Learn more about becoming a Menu of Hope Sponsor.

Taste to Remember
An annual gala held at the Loth building in Grandview, guests enjoy gourmet food, fine wine, and our signature “Live Chef Auction”. Executive Chef and Sous Chef sponsorships are available. Silent auction items and in-kind support are also appreciated. Learn more about Taste to Remember sponsorship levels and benefits.

Panerathon to Fight Hunger
Each year, we partner with Panera Bread to host 5 and 10K races in Columbus and Dayton. Panerathon is centered around family and community, complete with a free Kids’ Fun Run and Activity Fair. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medal sponsorships are available. T-shirt sponsors, race bag items, and in-kind support are also appreciated. Teams of 10 are encouraged to participate and receive discounted registration. Learn more about Panerathon sponsorships and benefits.

Group Programs

Menu of the Month
We work with a restaurant or community partner for a month-long campaign to help raise money and awareness. Visit participating restaurants and merchants, purchase featured items and a portion of your bill will aid in the fight against childhood hunger. We promote the partnership through radio, TV, print, electronic, and billboard advertisements. Learn more about our Menu of the Month program.

Lunch Money Campaign
By encouraging employees or members to donate their lunch money for a day, a week, or even a month, corporations and other organizations can help ensure more of Ohio’s hungry children receive the healthy meals they need to learn and thrive. Learn more about our Lunch Money Campaign.

Building Blocks
Building Blocks is an opportunity for your team to take on small renovation projects in an afterschool site or in-home childcare setting. With a donation to cover program costs and materials, a group of volunteers can impact the lives of children by creating a safe and fun place to eat, play, and learn. Learn more about Building Blocks.
