Ohio State's campaign began Oct. 2 and will continue through Dec. 8. We really would like to achieve our goals. Donations can be made through payroll deductions or one-time gifts. Project Open Hand's client base shifts throughout the year, Robertson said. People tend to only use our services when they're in a great amount of need.
Food is essential during the healing process.
And the medicine they're on requires a substantial amount of food to take with it. POHC also sponsors a food pantry to assist those who either don't qualify for or don't want delivered meals, but who still need supplements to their diet. As with many charities in the campus area, Ohio State's influence at POHC is felt through volunteer efforts. More than 125 students have volunteered, preparing the meals twice a week in kitchen space donated by Summit United Methodist Church and making deliveries to the clients' homes. Many of the students become involved by volunteering through a course requirement.
