Building dignity. Breaking barriers. Creating opportunity.
Since 2018, Make-A-Day has walked alongside thousands of Central Ohio neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty. Through outreach and care, one-on-one stability support, and initiatives that remove systemic barriers, we meet people where they are, with meals, essentials, and trust, and help them take steps toward housing, employment, and long-term opportunity.
Our work is about removing roadblocks. Every person we meet has goals, skills, and potential. Our role is to help clear the barriers, like missing IDs, criminal records, or lack of housing, that keep them from thriving in work, home, and health..
Thousands served. Hundreds housed. Countless second chances created.
This year’s Season of Warmth Pop-Up Care Village brought together neighbors, volunteers, and community partners in an unforgettable celebration of care and connection, where more than 160 guests found food, warmth, services, and human connection on a cold December afternoon. From haircuts and legal support to winter gear and shared laughter, the event reminded us that community itself can be the heat that carries us through the harshest months.
When John saw a group of men sharing a meal and laughing together at our food truck, he realized he was witnessing the kind of community he'd been missing. Check out this story about how one simple invitation helped reconnect him to a sense of belonging.
Fuel more than just items this Giving Tuesday. Funds the moments that make our guests feel seen and encouraged to move towards stability.
