ShareCorps- Oberlin Community Services -Marketing Associat
 
 
 
“Start by doing what is necessary. And then do what is possible. Soon you will be doing the impossible.” Such is Oberlin Community Services (OCS)’s approach to working toward our vision: a community in which all of its members have the resources they need to flourish. Founded in 1955, OCS is a responsive community-based organization that offers food programs, direct financial assistance, advocacy, referrals and educational outreach to people who have difficulty, for whatever reason, making ends meet. In addition to providing well over 52,000 points of service this year through our established food programs, OCS started monthly mobile produce pantries, increased Food Rescue, a monthly food delivery to homebound seniors in southern Lorain County and a more comprehensive Build-a-Garden program. Our Food Rescue Program rerouted 20,000 pounds of food out of the waste stream and into the homes of those at risk for hunger. OCS provided direct assistance, counseling, case management, advocacy, and referrals to 776 households this year, who altogether received almost $126,000 in direct assistance. OCS takes seriously our commitment to be responsive to the needs in our community, and to capitalize on our strengths; we continue to add new initiatives and innovative programming. And we do it with a very small staff: just 5 full-time and a couple of part-time. Steve Jobs has said that “the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” So it is for us at OCS. And our volunteers and VISTAs are a crucial part of the team!
