Clintonville, you've always come through for our community when times are tough. Through the years, you've joined Mozart's to raise funds for the Clintonville Fourth of July celebration, come out to support CRIS (Community Refugee and Immigration Services), championed the Clintonville Beechwold Community Resource Center, rallied to revive the Columbus Park of Roses Concert Series, contributed to a Go Fund Me to help Patrick McCarthy of Wildflower Café provide Hurricane Helene relief in North Carolina, and so much more.

We're reaching out once again to ask for your help on Saturday, September 13th. Why this date? September 13th marks the 178th anniversary of Clintonville's official recognition as a community. There's no better way to celebrate than to show our community spirit in action.

Recent funding cuts have jeopardized the work of many nonprofits and community groups including our friends at the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resource Center. Since 1971, this vital nonprofit organization has provided a food pantry, youth after school programming, assistance for seniors and other essential services for our neighbors in need. CRC has experienced recent cuts to food in the Food Pantry, housing programming, and cuts to youth programming including after school programming and art and science programs.

Stop by Mozart's before the OSU game on Saturday, September 13th from 3 to 7pm to show your support for CRC. Guests are invited to enjoy a cash bar and light refreshments provided by Mozart's. There is no cost to attend, but guests are encouraged to support CRC with a suggested donation of $25.

Unable to attend? Show your support with a donation to CRC online through this GoFundMe campaign.

Clintonville, let's come together and demonstrate what makes this community such a fantastic and caring place to call home.
