The Blessings in a Backpack program in Marysville, Ohio, provides non-perishable food every week throughout the school year for children who might benefit from supplemental nutrition. We currently serve five elementary schools — Edgewood, Mill Valley, Navin, Northwood, and Raymond — plus Creekview Intermediate School and the Mini Monarch Academy. Every ‘blessing’ bag we send home for the weekend includes, at minimum, two breakfast items, two entree/protein items, and two healthy snacks. We also send extra items home for long weekends and extended breaks to help keep bellies full until kids return to school. We are 100% community-funded, meaning we couldn’t do what we do without the support of individuals, groups, churches, businesses, and organizations committed to ending childhood hunger and food insecurity alongside us. Thanks to the generous support of our community thus far, we’ve been able to serve anywhere from 140 to 285 kids per year since we started in 2012, and we are committed to standing in the gap for families in Marysville, Ohio, for many years to come.

Join us for a meaningful 5K Family Fun Walk/Run dedicated to raising awareness about the life-saving importance of working smoke detectors in every home.

Every year, lives are lost due to preventable fire incidents. Early detection saves lives—and something as simple as a functioning smoke detector can make all the difference.

Together we can Honor the Flame and Protect Every Life. Fire awareness. Let’s come together and raise money to help keep our community safe. Diane Luikart lost her life in a tragic house fire. The fire began in her bedroom in the early morning hours, around 5:50 a.m. Diane was asleep in the living room and was unaware that the fire had started. She was only steps away from her front door and could have survived however, there was not working smoke detector to alert her.

All proceeds from this event will benefit:

Delaware County American Red Cross – Tragic Loss ProgramDelaware County Tri-County Fire Department

Your participation helps these organizations continue their mission of providing free smoke detectors to families who need them, ensuring safer homes and stronger communities. Diane’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how critical early detection is. A working smoke detector can mean the difference between life and loss.

Our mission is to honor Diane’s memory, along with all those affected by tragic fires, by raising awareness and helping prevent future tragedies.

The Miles for Manufacturing (M4M) 5K Run/Walk is a beloved tradition at IMTS, uniting the manufacturing community around two shared passions: staying active and giving back. Launched at IMTS 2014, the event has raised more than $250,000 to date-all of which goes directly to STEM programs around the country that prepare the next generation of innovators, makers and problem solvers; that 100% impact is possible because IMTS covers every production expense- from shirts, timing gear to permits and signage. Thanks to this support, every sponsorship dollar and every runner’s registration fee is invested in manufacturing education.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the Shelter dogs that need more than basic services.

The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured—but otherwise adoptable—dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer group of local individuals who donate their time to the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, the volunteers plan and coordinate fundraising events, marketing and public relations projects and provide accounting and legal guidance. As an all-volunteer group, the organization is able to keep overhead very low, allowing over 95% of donations to help our shelter dogs in need.
