GUIDE TO CHARITABLE GIVING
A Helping Hand
In disaster’s wake, service organizations continue to rely on public support BY TIM WALKER
N
o one can deny that 2019 brought its share of difficulties to the Dayton area. When nature’s storms and a gunman’s unimaginable violence impacted so many local families dozens of local churches, food pantries and other charitable service providers went above and beyond the call of duty to help those who were so desperately in need and then continued to do so for months afterward. We are blessed that the Miami Valley has a wide variety of charities and it’s good to keep in mind that all of them rely on monetary donations, volunteer work and the other means of support so generously provided by local residents. When it comes to charity in the Dayton area giving is always better than receiving. Local homeless shelters and food pantries, organizations that provide aid to the needy and those who support animals and the arts are only a few of the groups that can always use the help of local residents. If you are a kind-hearted, caring individual and you are interested in giving of yourself to benefit those less fortunate these are just a few of the many wonderful organizations that can use your time, your help or a donation.

And whether they are providing residents with boxes of nutritious food from their Springfield Street warehouse or at any one of the numerous mobile events they run on a regular basis they rely on donations and the help of the public to keep Dayton-area families fed. Nicole’s family were victims themselves of the Memorial Day tornadoes when an F4 destroyed their home in Northridge. Even while displaced, however, With God’s Grace never faltered in its mission to help the hungry families of the Miami Valley and they continue that mission today with a renewed sense of purpose—when Kroger announced in October that it would be closing its store at Needmore Road and North Dixie Drive Nicole immediately announced she would combat the “food desert” her old neighborhood could become by holding regular mobile food pantries to help the families living there.
