Heartfelt gratitude to our social media intern from Ohio Universities co-op program, Destiny Kemmerling. By using her creativity and amazing superhero skills, she increased our global footprint so the world knows what impact COCD is having in Dayton, Ohio. Looking forward to seeing your next great accomplishment. Best of luck in your future.

It started in an empty classroom. Then it was filled with new skills, certification, and new opportunities.

Our Forklift Driving Certification Program brought together community members ready to invest in their futures and gain valuable workforce credentials. We're grateful to Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley for sponsoring this program and to Miami Valley Meals, Dayton Equity Center, Welcome Dayton, and Nicolae Cernomaz for their partnership and support.

The graduates have been successfully fulfilling their new roles. We are honored to collaborate with advocates and work alongside these individuals.

This is how Dayton bridges the gaps towards safety and supports, where everyone gets a seat at the table!
