Food pantries, other groups in Stow feel pressure from prices, demand

John Hayduke of Helping Hands in Stow, which started a little more than a year ago, said the nonprofit has seen double-digit increases in need. The group offers food and other assistance to Stow residents in need. Hayduke said that local food pantries have seen sharp increases in need, and it's likely due to changes in government programs. More than 100,000 Ohioans are no longer receiving government help to buy food after federal overhauls to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, the USA Today Network - Ohio reported in October.
