Hope4Centerville
One of the core suburbs of Metropolitan Dayton, Centerville, OH was established in 1968 and is now home to over 23,000 residents. The city prides itself on its rich history, architectural beauty, and local museums. But more importantly, Centerville is most proud of its strong sense of community.
Hope4Centerville-WashingtonTownship (H4C-WT) was established in June of 2021 after seeing the immense impact Hope4WestCarrollton and Hope4Riverside were having in their communities. Since its
inception, H4C-WT has connected with nearly 30 community partners including churches, schools, non-profits, government, business, and local organizations. Together, these partners have worked to provide
struggling families in a variety of ways.
H4C-WT Joint Initiatives
Back to School Bash - Help local under-resourced families get ready to go back to school with new backpacks, school supplies, two new outfits, a new pair of shoes, a haircut, and general healthcare needs.
The Christmas Store - H4C-WT believes that every child should experience the joy of Christmas, so we created a magical Christmas Store where pre-registered parents/guardians facing income challenges can shop at no cost for Christmas presents, new socks and underwear, coats, and more for their children. We also offer a resource table to assist them with information and support for challenges with finances, healthcare, counseling, finding a job, food insecurity, and more.
First Dawn Food Pantry - H4C-WT learned of a need for substantial food donations at the local food pantry “First Dawn”. We started a monthly “church sponsorship” where we take turns conducting a food drive at our churches. This has been a great success!
H4C-WT meets once a month to visit new opportunities for giving and partnership, as well as continuing their positive impact on the families in Centerville, and Washington Township, Ohio.
