Funding Shortfall Threatens Oberlin Community Services Shelf Supply
Oberlin Community Services faces a funding crisis after United Way cut support, risking reduced food, housing, and utility aid for 50 year old agency. Board president Gary Kornblith and executive director Ann Fuller warn of possible service cuts, staff reductions, and the need for new funding sources. Abby O'Donnell and other clients rely on OCS for meals and support, with the open pantry drawing large crowds. Call 774-6579 to help.
