J.O.I.N. provides material needs for low income families in Franklin County and functions under Catholic Charities of the Catholic Diocese of Columbus.
The Joint Organization for Inner-City Needs, was blessed in 2007 to move to its current facility at 578 East Main Street. The current facility provides increased square footage, larger restroom facilities, a comfortable waiting area.
J.O.I.N. responds to calls from community organizations also serving less fortunate neighbors: men, women and children.
The J.O.I.N. Staff/Volunteers serve two major functions:
1. Gather information and assess the needs of the neighborWe sort every Tuesday night from 5:45-6:45 pm. Parishioners may participate every week, monthly, quarterly or whenever they have a free Tuesday. It is a great opportunity to involve the entire family, as there are no age limits in this ministry.
