J.O.I.N. provides material needs for low-income families in Franklin County and functions under Catholic Charities of the Catholic Diocese of Columbus.

Though J.O.I.N. is limited on some assistance at this time, we can assist with prescriptions and birth certificates and we usually have non-perishable food, personal hygiene, and household products available to neighbors in need, as well as other kinds of assistance.  Call to see if we can meet your need.


Birth Certificate referrals are to be emailed to [email protected] and, on your letterhead, must include:

Date, name, date of birth, state of birth and reason for the need. If your person is a minor, include their parent's/guardian's name and date of birth as well.

Please do not include their social security number.
