Our Mission

 

Claridon Community Helps is a non-profit organization that works together to assist families and individuals in Claridon and surrounding communities who may have come upon a difficult time. We are passionate about helping others, improving their situation and providing the best possible resources available.

We believe in “Neighbors helping Neighbors.”

 

In 2009 a group of people came together to see how we could help a neighbor in need. In working with the person, local agencies and businesses we were able to resolve the need.

​

In 2011 we began our free Community Dinners on the third Tuesday of each month.

​

As we continued to grow, we became a 501(c)(3) organization in 2012.

​

In 2019, we added "Now That's What I'm Talking About!" summer lunch program for children in the Claridon, Burton, Troy, Thompson and Montville area.

​

In 2020 we expanded the summer lunch program to the area covered by Cardinal School District and Newbury township.

​

In 2022, we expanded the lunch program yet again to also include Chardon School District
