Catholic Social Services provides a spectrum of services to address the ongoing crisis of poverty in our community.

One attribute of that crisis is hunger. In Ohio, one in every seven people — and one in every five children — struggles with hunger. Our Choice Food Pantry and FoodSource programs are working to meet the emergency food needs of our neighbors.

But our poverty alleviation programs don’t end with food. Hunger is a symptom of underlying issues that imperil family stability. We help our clients set and work toward goals that build on their own strengths and their aspirations for themselves and their families.

FAITH Emergency Services provides emergency relief to individuals and families in Mason, Deerfield Township, South Lebanon, and Shadow Lake in Ohio.     FAITH is funded by several Mason/Deerfield churches, as well as Warren County United Way, Kiwanis, and individuals in the community.

FAITH was established as a Christian ministry working to care for all God’s people without regard to their faith or beliefs. We are responding to the call to “Feed the hungry! Help those in trouble! Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you shall be as bright as day.” (Isaiah 58)

Beginning in 2022 FAITH has begun a relationship with Warren County Community Services (WCCS)  in which WCCS uses FAITH resources to fullfill the needs of clients in the Mason, Deerfield Township, South Lebanon, and Shadow Lake are who as seeking emergency assistance.   For more information about the types of support that FAITH provides through Warren County Community Services click on the Services Offered tab above. 

MISSION & VISION

Our Vision: A community where there is no homelessness.

Our Mission: To work to end homelessness by providing housing, services, advocacy, and education.

OUR HISTORY

Homefull was founded in 1988 by Sister Dorothy Kammerer and other committed volunteers as The Other Place as the community's response to needing another place for the homeless to go during the day. Since then, and after changing it's name to Homefull in 2010, the organization has grown significantly and takes a comprehensive approach to addressing poverty in general which is the root cause of homelessness. Homefull is still headquartered in Dayton and also operates programs in Columbus and 15 other Ohio counties. It employs nearly 100 passionate professionals and provides services to over 2,000 households on any given day.

The mission of Miami Valley Community Action Partnership is to work in partnership with local communities to eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty and to promote individual independence and self-sufficiency. (Taken from their website).

The Ohio Benefits website will enable residents to check eligibility and apply for a variety of benefits. The State of Ohio will continue to introduce new features and services on this website over the next two years.

St. Vincent de Paul serves our neighbors in need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our help begins with our Conferences and their volunteer members (Vincentians) giving emergency assistance with utilities, food, clothing, furniture and many other services to our neighbors in need. Person-to-person assistance is the trademark of the St. Vincent de Paul Conferences; helping individuals to stay in their homes.
