We help communities in Northern Ohio prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. We are able to make a difference in our local communities because of the generosity of our donors and support of our volunteers. Together, we provide the following programs and services:
Around the clock, every day of the year, the Northern Ohio Region stands ready to respond to emergencies like fires, floods and severe storms. At every disaster, we assess the victims' needs and ensure that they have food, clothing, shelter and other services to help families take the first steps to recovery.
Our vital work in the community is only possible because of volunteers. Find out how rewarding giving your time and efforts can be by exploring the specific volunteer opportunities now available.
