ShareCorps-OHGo-Engagement Specialist
 
 
 
OHgo is a mobile nonprofit that uses converted trucks and a food bus to deliver goods and services to Erie County families in need. OHgo has been in operation since October 2015. We are a mobile service that reaches children and their families at their homes and in their neighborhoods. Our target population includes at-risk students and low-income families experiencing multiple complex needs that may have difficulty accessing mainstream groups and services on their own. Deliveries include goods such as food, school supplies, Christmas gifts, a mobile pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot. Events include opportunities such as Project Book Give where our bookmobile visits local neighborhoods to read with children and help them choose books to take home and keep, mobile food pantries, birthday parties delivered to your door, and more.
