Recently Filled Needs

Family in need of rent help and Uber/Lyft cards

A Westerville Family is in need of help paying their rent. Parents have been unable to work because while one parent is at the hospital taking care of their very sick child the other parent is staying home with their other two severely disabled children. If you can donate anything to help them pay their $1200 rent that would be so helpful. They also would benefit from Uber or Lyft gift cards to get to and from Nationwide Childrens Hospital everyday. Thank you for your help!

Westerville South Family Needs Help Restoring Phone Service

A working single mom needs help to restore cell phone service. She cares for a young child with autism and needs to be able to schedule and follow up on medical appointments. She just started a new job and needs help until she can begin paying the monthly payment on her own. The total amount requested is $50 for a Cricket Wireless gift card which will cover three months of service.

N2N: Gutter Clearing in Minerva Park

An older adult in Minerva Park needs someone to check her gutters. With all the rainy spring weather, she's extra concerned about her gutters and needs someone honest and helpful to see how they're holding up. This will require climbing a ladder and possibly using a leaf blower on a ranch-style home. The resident has a ladder and a corded blower.

WNHS student in need of cheer camp fees

A freshman student at Westerville North High School is in need of $465 in order to help pay for cheer camp. She has made the cheer team but needs to attend camp in order to learn all cheers and dances. This camp is mandatory for her to continue to be a part of the cheer program.

Graduating WNHS student needs fees paid to receive diploma

We have a student that is graduating this weekend and he owes $110.00 in school fees and can not afford to pay his fees. Our policy is that a student can not receive their diploma until fees are paid. Is there anyway you can help this student?

N2N - Huber Ridge Yard Spring Cleaning

An older adult in the Huber Ridge neighborhood is looking for someone (or a group of individuals) who can do some light spring cleaning outside of her home. She is specifically hoping that someone can wash the windows and do some light yard work/landscaping. We can provide tools/materials if needed.
