Buckeye Friendship Fund: Supporting Ohio Families During COVID-19
How Firm Thy Friendship! Ohio natives and Buckeye alums are teaming up to launch the Buckeye Friendship Fund to provide financial support, healthy food,, and career services for those impacted by COVID-19 global pandemic.
How We're Helping
