Services


The Emergency Assistance Center (TEAC) provides assistance with food, hygiene, and basic neccessities on a monthly basis, and offers seasonal support for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. We also partner with Twinsburg City Schools in the Paws on Child Hunger program.

GIVE HELP

The Emergency Assistance Center (TEAC) is first and foremost a food pantry, providing a monthly 7-day supply of food.

In 2020, we remained open 40 hours per week throughout the pandemic. At all service visits throughout the year, 8,787 individuals received food for a total of 162,741 meals! 

Our primary goal is to feed the hungry, and we always serve those in need of emergency help, as well as those in our service area who need continued help to put food on the table.

Paws on Child Hunger Backpacks

The Paws on Child Hunger Program is a joint venture between The Emergency Assistance Center in Northfield and Twinsburg City Schools to provide nutritional weekend food assistance for Twinsburg students who receive free or reduced lunches. Our non-descript backpacks include healthy, filling, and safe-to-prepare (no cooking needed) meals and snacks to help students have enough to eat throughout their weekends at home. During the 2021-2022 school year, we served 239 students every week from Wilcox Primary School, Samuel Bissell Elementary School, George G. Dodge Intermediate School, and R. B. Chamberlin Middle School.
