The Great American Egg Drive allows families to have access to eggs as they celebrate Easter and Passover.

“For us to get a donation this large means a lot of families in central and eastern Ohio will benefit from having fresh eggs on the table,” Matt Habash, President and CEO of the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, told WBNS.

The eggs, which Habash said are among the highest-demanded items for food banks, will be delivered to food pantries this week.
