A student at Westerville Central is facing significant challenges. This student is currently experiencing homelessness and is living in the United States without any family support. Despite these circumstances, they are working hard to stay engaged in school and meet their basic needs on their own.
To help support their safety, well-being, and ability to remain in school, we are asking for donations of gift cards—particularly for food, basic necessities, and transportation (such as Uber gift cards for occasional essential travel).

Westerville Snow Patrol - Volunteers Needed!
Leadership Westerville is seeking Westerville Snow Patrol volunteers for the 2025-2026 snow season.
The Westerville Snow Patrol Program pairs older residents and residents with disabilities with nearby neighbors who volunteer to assist them with snow removal on their sidewalks, walkways, and driveways. Along with fostering stronger community relationships and alleviating some of the stress that comes with a snowfall or freeze, The Snow Patrol makes our sidewalks safer for everyone. Once paired with a resident, volunteers are responsible for clearing their driveway and sidewalks within 24 hours of a 'snow event.'
