ShareCorps - Lodi Family Center - Summer Associate

Lodi Family Center’s theme is: “Families Serving Families”. We provide a safe and fun place for families in our community to help their neighbors. By offering free, fun and safe activities, we offer families the opportunity to develop a support system of other parents that they can rely on in a time of need. In 2016, our programs served 1,181 unduplicated people 8,069 times. We also served 16,072 meals/snacks and distributed close to 150,000 pounds of fresh, canned and frozen foods through our pantry. The Akron Canton Foodbank estimated that the food sent home provided families 88,645 meals. PROGRAMS: THE 5-18 CLUB: This program offers youth 18 and under are provided a free, safe, supervised place to get off the streets. This is important because the Village of Lodi is recognized by the Ohio State Patrol as a drug corridor. The youth center is open 4 days a week, offers a variety of programs, and is completely free. Activities include robotics, tech club, cooking club, gardening club, sewing club, knitting/crocheting club, Lego Club, webdesign, coding camps, gaming clubs, sports (dodgeball, basketball, soccer, kickball, etc), and Nerf wars. We also have our own 4-H Club. During 2016, 401 children participated in programs 2,502 times. LODI PANTRY: This department offers an emergency pantry, free fresh veggie market and personal care pantry. They served 386 families 2,705 times in 2016. PARENTING: This department offers a Community Cafe and monthly mini-fairs for parents to gain the tools they need to raise their children and influence their grandchildren. During these programs, we connected with parents 2,339 times in 2016. 55 & BETTER CLUB: This program offers fun activities for anyone who loves Bingo, Bunco, and other games. It is mostly active during the school year. RUNNING 2B WELL & HEALTHY MEDINA: Health and Wellness programs that encourage walking, walk/runs, running, good nutrition, and offers a variety of health education opportunities.
