Our Story

Welcome to FOCUS Cincinnati, where we bring compassion, service, and hope to our local community. Established in October 2023, our mission is to provide critical support to individuals and families in need throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.

What began with small outdoor meals during construction has flourished into a thriving community effort. From humble beginnings serving four guests, we now welcome 40-50 individuals for each meal, offering nourishment and fellowship. Our services are rooted in collaboration with local churches, including Christ the Savior in Norwood and Holy Trinity-Saint Nicholas in Finneytown. Together, we are building a stronger, more united community.

At FOCUS Cincinnati, we provide more than just food—we provide dignity, warmth, and community. Our programs include:

• Community Meals: Serving between 40-50 individuals each meal, we bring people together to enjoy a hearty, nutritious meal in a welcoming environment.
• Food Pantries: Located at Christ the Savior and Holy Trinity-Saint Nicholas, our pantries serve over 80 guests monthly. We aim to expand access and increase availability.
• Holiday Programs: From Thanksgiving feasts with all the fixings to Christmas hams and desserts, we ensure families can celebrate with joy and comfort.
• Warming Center: On the coldest days of the year, our Norwood location becomes a safe haven, offering three meals daily to those seeking refuge.

Through partnerships with local schools and churches, we extend our services to provide meals and gifts for families during the holidays. Every meal served and every pantry visit is a step toward a stronger, more connected community.
