For over 45 years, the Brimfield Community Cupboard has been helping neighboring Brimfield families with food assistance. Opened in 1979, the Brimfield Community Cupboard operated out of a small room in the basement of the Brimfield Methodist Church and now comprises over 1/2 of the church basement.
Since 2019, pantry use has increased over 80% during its normal Tuesday, Thursday and once a month evening operating hours.
The Brimfield Community Cupboard sources much of its food from the Akron Canton Region Food Bank as a Pantry Partner, however one of the hardest items to source is meat. We have been able to fill this gap as a beneficiary of the Meijer Simply Give Double Match Day program. Donations made on Double Match Days effectively are tippled. We then use these funds to purchase meat for our pantry families.
The next Meijer Simply Give Double Match Day events is Saturday September 12th. If you are considering a donation to the Brimfield Community Cupboard, consider donating at the Brimfield Meijer store by purchasing the Brimfield Community Cupboard donation card where every dollar donated is doubled and added to the original donation.
Look for the Simply Give cards (pictured below) near the checkouts or ask a the store manager to assist you if you cannot find them. If you'd rather, you can drop your donation off at the Brimfield Hometown bank, and we will apply it for you on the Double Back Saturday.
Without donations from you and sponsors like Meijer, we could not provide the level of service we do. We thank you in advance for your kind consideration
