J.O.I.N.

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.

The Joint Organization for Inner-City Needs, was blessed in 2007 to move to its current facility at 578 East Main Street. The current facility provides increased square footage, larger restroom facilities, a comfortable waiting area.

J.O.I.N. responds to calls from community organizations also serving less fortunate neighbors: men, women and children. 

1.  J.O.I.N. neighbors are often employed
2.  J.O.I.N. neighbors may receive or are awaiting government assistance.
3.  Some neighbors are transient.
4.  Others are children and parents whose resources have been depleted. 
5.  Often, they have nowhere else to turn.   

 

The J.O.I.N. Staff/Volunteers serve two major functions: 

       1. Gather information and assess the needs of the neighbor 
       2. Then assist or make referrals to community agencies who can assist with their need.

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 hygeine and household products available to neighbors in need, as well as other kinds of assistance.  Call to see if we can meet your need.
