I have recently been volunteering downtown with an organization called 1
City. They run a shelter which houses people who are willing to meet some
guidelines. The shelter has a zero tolerance for alcohol and charges a
minimal fee from housing which encourages people to get a job. I have had a
great experience with this organization and their sole focus is on
Cincinnati. What I am currently doing is spending time on Saturday morning
with a group of Christian volunteers from 9 to 12 and we just hangout with
about 30 people who are trying to get back on their feet. This has been a
great opportunity to directly impact our community and I have meet several
other Christians from the area.
1 City has asked if anyone else would like to volunteer from our church. If
we get 4 or 5 people we could actually run a entire Saturday. The
commitment would be once a month or if you as an individual want to get more
involved it takes place every Saturday. The work is easy we just prepare
coffee and play games like dominos and pool for a couple of hours. Thus far
I have had some amazing conversations with these people who honestly want to
change. If this is something that interest you but the time doesn't fit 1
City has also asked me to join their leadership team. I am not entirely sure
what I will be doing yet but I would love some help.
I really believe in this organization and want to support it. If you have
any interest please email or call me and we can discuss it further. Here is
their website if you would like to check them out.
