This event takes place the last Friday of every month since November 2013 (minus COVID months) where a group of employees and their families meet at 6:30pm on the last Friday of the month, to glean the unopened, unexpired, prepackaged food from 77 kitchenettes in their primary facilities and donate it to a local food pantry, who is a Mid-Ohio Foodbank partner. This is where Deana met Pastor Alex and fell in love with their vision. JPMC’s Operation Feed campaign has donated over 2 million meals and the Friday Night Fridge Raid another 25,000.
