Volunteer
CSS does not run on programs alone. It runs on people. Volunteers are the hands and feet of this mission, showing up in nursing homes, food pantries, classrooms, and community centers across central and southeastern Ohio to make sure no one faces a hard season alone.
Whether you have two hours or two days a month, there is a place for you here.

Group Volunteering
CSS welcomes teams from businesses, parishes, schools, and community organizations for group service days. Group volunteering is a meaningful way to build team culture while investing in the community you work and live in.
Many companies also offer volunteer grant programs or paid volunteer time off (VTO) that can amplify the impact of your team's service. Check whether your employer matches volunteer hours through the DoubleTheDonation search tool.
