MEET NICOLE

Nicole came to us in need of assistance, and has been with us ever since, volunteering to make sure YOUR donations of clothing, hygiene items, outdoor equipment, and more are organized & helping those we serve.

She shares about what led her to The Open Shelter & what it means to her.

Nicole is a blessing.

The Open Shelter is proud to announce that in June & July, we are part of Kroger's Fight Hunger Bag Program!

During those months, purchase a reusable Fight Hunger bag at the Brewer's Yard Kroger (150 Sycamore St, Columbus, OH 43215) & we will receive $1 toward our mission of "Staying Behind With Those Left Behind".

It's a simple way to help us and those we serve while you grocery shop!

The Open Shelter is proud to be one of the many organizations that are part of Kroger's Zero Hunger, Zero Waste program.

At least twice a week, we pick up donations from the Brewery District location. This food helps feed so many of our guests.
