Thank you!!
On behalf of the Family Justice Center of Northwest Ohio, we would like to thank all of the students, faculty, and staff who participated in the food drive for our agency. After unloading the boxes of your wonderful and thoughtfully chosen donated items this winter, we were able to feed many women and families. Your efforts and donations have made a difference in so many lives. Each time we are able to offer a bag of groceries and basic living supplies to families who are in crisis and transition is a blessing. Thank you so much for your continuing support for this agency with your contributions to our food pantry.
    -The Family Justice Center
