Philanthropy in the Kitchen!
OhioHealth Home Health and Hospice Services
provides cost-effective and compassionate home care in Southeastern Ohio to our nation's most vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly and disabled. They offer care, support and advocacy for all individuals who qualify for home care, regardless of their ability to pay. There are many
ways to volunteer
your time for OHHC, and one was was recently taken advantage of by a very big-hearted group of individuals from the
Ohio University Credit Union
!
Casserole Comfort is a program where volunteers gather at an appointed time (currently once a month) to cook a number of casseroles for delivery by staff to hospice households. At the end of October, a caring group of women and men came into the ACEnet kitchen to make 17 large casseroles to take to the OHHC staff for families in the hospice program!
In September, the group also took part in OHHC's Flower Power volunteer program, wherein community volunteers grow and arrange flowers in the spring and summer months for weekly delivery to hospice and home health clients..
The Ohio University Credit Union gives back to our community in many different ways, from hosting community events and educational seminars to volunteering and contributing to local organizations.
The OUCU recently donated more than $12,000 to six area charities as part of its first Give and Grow promotion. For the promotion, which had a goal of $10,000, credit union members who opened designated accounts or services were able to choose one of six local charities to receive a $25 donation from OUCU. Donations also were made by members, employees and credit union board members. You can read the full story HERE!

November Product of the Month!
"When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Believe it or not, Southeastern Ohio, we're blessed with some of the best wild pawpaws in the world."
Chris Chmiel and his wife, Michelle, wanted to find a way to make a living in Athens County that they both could feel good about. Chmiel is conscientious of sustainable agriculture and renewable resources and wanted to integrate that goal into a business.
Integration Acres was born in 1996 and has become the largest processor of pawpaws in the world, according to Chmiel. Last year, more than seven tons of pawpaws were processed through the company.

Meet the (Athens) Village People!
The Athens Village, an ACEnet tenant, strives to serve not only Athens County's seniors, but the community as a whole, through giving back.
The Village, which was established August of 2009, gives back to the community through many forms, according to Director of Village Operations, Patty Mercer.
"It's a link in the chain to partner with other organizations, from local to national, to support advocacy for seniors' issues, and healthy aging," she said.
"The organization also offers educational brown bag lunches regarding topics affecting seniors open to the public, and encourages inter-generational activities."
Rows of assisted living homes isn't what make up the Athens Village. Instead, it's a service offered to area residents 60 or older, and helps ensure their needs are met, in a variety of ways.
