🌟 Another Successful Day at the Hilltop Free Clinic! 🌟

This weekend, we were able to provide free, quality care to our community, thanks to the dedication of our clinic doctors, volunteers, and the generosity of our donors. From full checkups to compassionate support, we’re proud to be a resource for those in need.

But we’re not stopping here! We’re working hard to expand our services to include vision screenings and dental cleanings, ensuring more comprehensive care for our patients.

Your support is crucial to making these services possible. If you’d like to help continue the vital work we do, please consider donating today. Every contribution makes a difference in the lives of those who rely on the Hilltop Free Clinic.

Thank you for helping us keep care accessible and free for our community! 💙

Open Mic Night at Fun Friday!

🎤 Fun Friday: Open Mic Night at MY Project USA! 🎤

What an amazing evening we had at our Open Mic Night this Friday! We were inspired by the incredible talent of our young poets and artists, and it was truly a joy to celebrate the passion and creativity that thrives in our community.

At MY Project USA, we believe that nurturing the arts is just as important as supporting sports in shaping the minds and hearts of our future leaders. We’re committed to providing a space for youth to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with one another.

Thank you to all the performers for sharing their voices with us! We can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you next. 🌟

 OSU Students Supporting Our Community AT MY Family Pantry 

Every week, the MY Family Pantry provides essential food and supplies to over 600 families, many of whom live in a food desert and face extreme poverty. For these families, our pantry is often the only source of nourishment they can rely on.

Despite our contract with the Mid Ohio Food Bank ending this year, we remain committed to keeping our doors open and serving those who need it most. This ongoing effort wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our incredible volunteers and Pantry board members who work tirelessly to ensure our community has access to the support they need.

We’re asking for your help to keep this vital service running. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.

Pitch in today and help us continue providing food, dignity, and hope to those who need it most. ❤️

MY Deah's Warehouse:

12 Locations In Columbus To Drop Off Donations – Truck Pick-Up Available For Large Donations

We Are Looking For More Locations

You can now drop off your donations of new and gently used clothes, shoes, books, toys and other small non-breakable items in a donation box near you.

We will collect the items from the bins weekly (or more frequently as needed) and sort them in our warehouse. Once organized, we offer the items for free to clients in the communities we serve. Some items are also sold at Global Gifts & Thrift, a retail location in Hilliard that is based on the Goodwill model. All proceeds of these sales go toward funding our programs.

Our organization will ensure that the area around the bins remains clean. Please contact Nasir Shinwari at (614) 905-0977 with questions or if you are interested in partnering with us. Thank you!
