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 on East Main Street. The current facility provides increased square footage, better security, larger restroom facilities, a comfortable waiting area.

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

1. Most J.O.I.N. clients receive or are awaiting government assistance.
2. Some are transients.
3. Others are children and parents whose resources have been depleted. 
4. Most have nowhere else to turn.   

The J.O.I.N. staff serves two major functions: 

1. Gathers information regarding clients and their needs; and / or 
2. Makes referrals to community agencies who assist in the prevention of repeat crises.
