Athens County, Ohio- Remember back to when Joe Burrow won the Heisman? News began circulating that hundreds of thousands of dollars had poured into the Athens County Food Pantry.  This came after Burrow nudged donators to support the less fortunate in Southeast Ohio. 
 

Since Joe Burrow's injury this past Thursday in the Bengals Matchup against the Washington Football Team tens of thousands of additional dollars in donations have come in to the Joe Burrow Hunger Relief Fund. 
 

The fund supports the operations of the Athens County Food Pantry which is dedicated to providing supplemental and emergency food aid to residents of Athens County who find themselves in need. 
 

The fund itself was made possible with 350,000 dollars from the many gifts inspired by the 2019 Heisman speech.
