Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH), the global leader in motion
and control technologies, today announced that it has committed $1
million from the Parker Hannifin Foundation to the Greater
Cleveland Food Bank, providing financial support for a
transformative expansion initiative that will strengthen the
organization’s ability to address food insecurity across Northeast
Ohio.
“Parker is thankful for the Greater Cleveland Food
Bank and their mission to expand access to nutritious food for
families and individuals in need, and we hope our contribution will
help,” said Tom Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Parker. “This investment builds on our long-standing relationship
with the Food Bank and aligns well with our company’s purpose.
Together we are taking a meaningful step to fight hunger and
strengthen our communities.”
The Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s expansion
project includes the construction of a new facility on Coit Road,
where it will have increased capacity to store, prepare, and
distribute nutritious food to the community directly and to its
1,000+ partner agencies throughout the region. The expansion
project will also include the renovation of its existing facility
on South Waterloo Road to provide critical space to help serve more
people and connect clients with resources to address the root
causes of food insecurity.
“With these expansion plans and with partners like
Parker Hannifin, we take another important step towards eliminating
food insecurity in our communities. This transformative capital
project will expand our distribution of healthy food, while also
creating space to address the root causes of food insecurity,” said
Kristin Warzocha, President & CEO, Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
“We are grateful to Parker Hannifin for its leadership in the
community and their partnership in making this vision a reality. On
behalf of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and the clients we serve,
thank you for this extraordinary support.”
For more than 20 years, Parker has partnered with
the Greater Cleveland Food Bank through recurring fundraising
initiatives such as the Harvest for Hunger campaign, charitable
contributions from the Parker Hannifin Foundation and volunteer
events driven by team members from Parker locations across
Northeast Ohio. This latest gift will help advance the Food Bank’s
most urgent priority to build an expanded food distribution
facility and serve more individuals, families and partner
organizations in need of food assistance.
