Every year, the Food & Clothing Distribution provides basic needs to the community​

In 2025, the Food & Clothing Distribution program saw a dramatic increase over 2024 and 2025, as a result of the renovation of the MDC facility, allowing the program to scale distribution from twice-monthly to three-times-per-week. In 2025, MDC served over 1,000,000 meals, including 15,000 new individuals served. 

The Food & Clothing Distribution is Supported by: 

• The Greater Cleveland Food Bank

• Hunger Network 

• Heinen's Grocery Store 

• St. Mark’s Church

• Westlake Council of PTAs

• City of Cleveland-Department of Community Development.
