Later this month, brave individuals will jump in the icy waters of Portage Lakes to show their support for a good cause—The Akron Canton Regional Foodbank.
The event takes place on Feb. 26. People participating in the jump will be staged in groups and spaced out to accommodate social distancing.
The goal of the event is to raise $150,000 for the foodbank, which would provide around 600,000 meals to 600 pantries in its network. The foodbank serves shelters, hot meal sites and hunger relief programs across eight counties in Northeast Ohio.
