JOIN (Joint Organization for Inner-City Needs) provides material needs for low income families in Franklin County and functions under Catholic Charities of the Catholic Diocese of Columbus. We respond to calls from community organizations also serving less fortunate neighbors: men, women and children in need.

Our staff serves two major functions: gathers information regarding clients and their needs; and / or makes referrals to community agencies who assist in the prevention of repeat crises. Our staff can occasionally help with utility assistance and social service connections. JOIN offers help with food and medication.
