Freedom Family Pantries
The Freedom Fighter Family Pantries now live at Community Liberation Foundation
Same mission. Same neighbors. A dedicated home built to grow them.
Take What You Need, Give What You Can

The Freedom Fighter Family Pantries started as a Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters initiative — 24/7, no-barrier food boxes in the neighborhoods that need them, no questions asked. They've grown into something that deserves its own organization fully devoted to mutual aid.
That organization is the Community Liberation Foundation (CLF). The pantries are CLF's flagship program, and all of our charitable and mutual aid work — feeding families, stocking pantries, building self-sustaining community — now lives there.
Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters continues as our home for political action, advocacy, and organizing. When you want to feed a neighbor, you go to CLF. When you want to march, organize, and defend our rights, you stay with MVFF. Two organizations, one movement, the same people showing up for each other.

Too many families in our community face food insecurity or lack access to basic necessities.
The Freedom Fighter Family Pantries are designed to meet those needs directly, with dignity and respect.
By providing accessible 24/7 mini-pantries throughout neighborhoods, we’re creating a network of care that uplifts everyone — from families and seniors to students and those experiencing hardship.
Beyond food, these pantries symbolize unity. They remind us that when we come together to care for one another, we build a stronger, more resilient Mahoning Valley.
