Avid - (av·id adj \'a-vəd\)

1 : An Enthusiastic and Vigorous Pursuit

Did you know?

• ...right here in Warren County there are thousands of children that need help with meals?
• ...there are families that gather during the week to get a free, hot meal provided at a community center or church?
• ...that at times, food pantries struggle to keep enough supplies on hand?

Most of us are unaware of how desperate some families are and that the number of families needing help continues to grow.

Avid IMPACT has a regularly scheduled, door to door route, picking up items to be donated to worthy causes. Avid IMPACT works with reputable community organizations, Lebanon Food Bank, Shared Harvest, Warrior’s BackPack, 1-eighty, as well as, a host of churches. These organizations will work with Lebanon and Warren county residents in need.

Each month collect your items in the Avid IMPACT bin that we will provide to you. Then place the bin on the front porch the morning of your collection day and an Avid IMPACT volunteer will exchange your full bin for an empty one. All donations are tax deductable and first priority will be placed on local needs.

Avid IMPACT will send an email, or if you choose, call or text you, 2-weeks and 2-days prior to your scheduled pick-up. Avid IMPACT will also send you a list of items that charities may need in particular at that time. Check out the list of items that Avid will always collect.

Avid IMPACT operates on donations and fundraisers. Not a penny goes towards any salaries or living expenses for anyone involved at Avid IMPACT. Each Avid IMPACT team member is a volunteer or a missionary that raises 100% of their own support.

The vision is to see Avid IMPACT collection efforts all over Warren County. To volunteer, make a donation or see when Avid IMPACT is coming to your area, please call (513) 850-5774, or send us an e-mail.

Help Make an Avid IMPACT Now!

Avid IMPACT would like to thank everyone who contributed and helped spread the word about the relief efforts for the Tornado victims in Alabama. Because of the generosity of so many, we were able to deliver several thousand pounds of personal care items, non-perishable food, water, clothing, a generator and gasoline.

We partnered with Origins Church in Mason, Ohio and Lifepoint Church in Arab, Alabama. Once we arrived in Arab, Pastor Matt Brooks and his team helped us unload and then took us on a tour of the affected areas. Matt and the people of Lifepoint Church helped remove trees, hang tarps and provided over 15,000 meals to the community. Many of the church members were serving and helping while their own homes were impacted as well.

Avid IMPACT could not have accomplished what we did in such a short time without the help of our supporters. Because of your financial donations, we were able to cover our travel expenses and leave some cash behind for the church as well.

Lastly, a huge thanks to Joel McGee and Steve Drake for helping with driving to and from Alabama.
