Shorb Market & Connection Center

Currently, Crossroads UMC partners with the Akron Canton Food Bank as one of their largest fresh food providers. In late 2022, Canton for All People acquired the old “Marshall Maytag” building at 603 Shorb Ave. NW.  The Shorb Market and Connection Center provides fresh and healthy foods to the community at no charge 4 days a week. It also houses a community classroom space and serves as a “hub” for the neighborhood to access community resources, area programming, and meeting space.  

Neighborhood residents can also access resources to help with achieving homeownership, homeowner improvements, and area events.

 This site is brought to you by a number of our great community partners…
