OASHF- Columbus, OH
 
 
 
The Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF) VISTA program focuses on increasing the financial security of low-income community members by assisting them in accessing public benefits and tax credits and by increasing financial literacy. VISTA members achieve this through development and maintenance of The Benefit Bank sites. The Benefit Bank is a free, secure, web-based software that allows trained, certified counselors to screen clients on a variety of Ohio public benefits including Food Stamps, WIC, Medicaid and Ohio Works First as well as filing federal and state taxes. Once the client's pre-eligibility is determined, a complete application is printed and ready to be submitted at the local Department of Job and Family Services.
