Faith Mission is known by many as not only a place for a hot meal and a warm bed, but a haven of hope as well. Since 1966, Faith Mission has served the homeless community by offering a secure, Christian-based environment for homeless men and women on an emergency walk-in basis. The agency provides shelter, food and clothing, while helping individuals with access to longer term solutions such as housing, employment assistance, medical, dental and vision care, counseling and support groups. |

Franklinton is the oldest community in central Ohio. It has weathered many storms: devastating floods, urban divestment, aging housing stock and infrastructure. However, with a new floodwall and tax-abatement in place, there is a new energy. With the city in the lead, more and more great partners are seeing potential of recapturing yet another great neighborhood in downtown Columbus. |

No one should go hungry: And yet thousands of people go hungry in our community every day. For 30 years, we’ve been working with grocers, food companies, Ohio farmers, the USDA, and community partners to obtain food and distribute it to more than 500 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, after-school programs, and senior housing sites across central and eastern Ohio. As a member of the nation's largest non-governmental, domestic hunger relief organization, Feeding America, our goal is to make food accessible to hungry people in their greatest times of need. |
