Support the Hilltop Youth Empowerment Center

Here is How You Can Feed, Educate & Empower Thousands of Families Throughout The Year

MY Project USA is opening the Hilltop Youth Empowerment Center and a Free Food Market in the Hilltop Area where they are needed the most. Our new location is 3275 Sullivant Ave. Columbus, OH 43204.

Last year, we served 40,000 families in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We moved our operations to this new location to serve more this year.

This center is a 10,000 sq ft facility on almost half an acre lot. It has plenty of space to serve a large number of clients indoor and outdoor through various programs. It will be a home to many initiatives including: Free Food Market Pay Forward Sandwich Shop/Soup Kitchen Learning Extension Center for the Columbus City Schools & others Job Training Center for Youths & Adults Community Garden to Grow Into A Farmers Market Project Free Health Screenings

This neighborhood is being recognized as a food desert with no good, affordable grocery stores nearby. Our food pantry has been the main source of free fresh produce and dry staples for thousands of families over the last five years. Now in partnership with the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, we are taking it to the next level: Free Food Market. Throughout the year this market will offer free food, personal care items and other basic supplies to the clients.

We have been able to secure some grants and other funding to support this center, but we are still in need of $250,000 to run and maintain all the services throughout the year.

This is an investment in our community. This center will be saving and changing the lives of thousands of families in years to come.

Your one-time support or monthly donations will help us Protect and Empower hundreds of youths and families for years to come.

Please contact Zerqa Abid at info@myprojectusa.org if you are interested in sponsorship or to join our fundraising committee for this center.
