We received a press release about a great new website that acts as a search tool for agencies across Franklin County. You can search by whatever service your client needs. I picture OBB sites using this (for example) if you only handle disability issues but your client also needs housing help, you would head to this website for a quick reference of other housing/rent services. Below is an excerpt of the press release. I wish every county in our region had a site like this!
A new web site that offers information on more than 70 local human service agencies, along with an online donation option. Donors using the site will see 100 percent of their gift go directly to the agencies they choose to support.
The new GiveDirectCentralOhio.org Web site is sponsored by the Human Service Chamber of Franklin County.
“The new Web site is a great example of the power of one voice speaking for human services in Franklin County,” said Qiana Williams, Executive Director for the Human Service Chamber of Franklin County (HSCFC). “GiveDirectCentralOhio.org is a one-stop-shop for donors who are looking to support an agency that helps children, families, seniors or individuals. Visitors to the site can learn what an agency does, choose what they want to support and then donate right there, online.”
The site includes information on more than 70 member agencies of the HSCFC. Services provided by the agencies include meals-on-wheels for senior citizens, child care and after-school programs, food pantries, housing, services for people with developmental disabilities, as well as assistance to people with cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, AIDS, mental illness and addiction. In addition, agencies provide help to people who have lost a job or home, among many other services.
The Human Service Chamber of Franklin County is an association of social service organizations in Franklin County dedicated to improving the quality of human services through collaboration, advocating for the needs of their clients, and impacting public policy. The Chamber’s mission is to enhance system efficiencies and effectiveness in order to develop one voice for the human service system by promoting, enhancing, and advocating for human service organizations and the clients they serve in central Ohio.
