What We Do

We serve over 5,000 people and over 20,000 pounds of food per year.

We identify the needs of poor and underprivileged families and individuals. We help them accomplish their goals by providing healthy meals and access to resources and services that are necessary to obtain and sustain a healthy life and better community.

We will defeat hunger by serving one family/individual at a time.

We are available every other Sunday in front of the Cincinnati Public Library from 2pm – 4pm. We have dry foods and fresh produce for people to be able to take with them – as well as serve fresh, hot meals during these times. 

Food Boxes

We deliver over 75 food boxes weekly (Mon-Fri) to needy families in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky area. These food boxes are filled with dry food, fresh produce, meats, and pastries. This helps the families/individuals be able to cook healthy meals.

Back to School Supply Events

For the last 3 years – Made for A Purpose gives 500 book bags every year to students in need of school supplies. We also provide local schools with supplies for their teachers that may need supplies to be successful in their classrooms.

During this event, we feed the families and have fun things for the families to do. We do this event to show the children that school is important and can be fun. To allow the families to enjoy themselves and connect as a community.

Easter Egg Hunts & Events

Every year, Made For a Purpose holds an annual Easter Event. Sometimes this event is held with another partnering organization and some years we solely have this event.

We provide Easter Baskets, we feed the families that attend the event as well as an exciting Easter Egg hunt. This is another way that we bring the community together.
