Our hometown guy Sam is matching donations to the Freestore Foodbank. If you can help a lot of our neighbors are struggling right now

Does anyone know if the food bank donation is given to just Cincinnati or surrounding suburb food banks> I know many are hurting, I just saw a notice from Loveland begging for donations.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Tri Health is matching the second $9400
The first set of donations raised $28,200 with what the public raised, Sam's match, and Carlos's match. Another $28,000 would be awesome and so helpful to so many who are struggling
