Abstract

HandsOn Central Ohio inspires, equips and mobilizes people to create meaningful change in their lives and in their community. The agency is the region's premiere information, resource referral, and volunteer mobilization organization, serving Greater Columbus for nearly 30 years. HandsOn Central Ohio serves more than 500,000 people across 29 Ohio counties each year, by providing community insights, access to critical needs, and volunteer support to provide access to safe and warm housing; nutritious meals; improved academic, social and emotional outcomes for young people; better public health; and to strengthen Central Ohio's neighborhoods.
