 Exodus Nation Community Organization-

 The purpose of the organization is to address the basic human and social service needs of our under served communities, and support those that strive towards finding solutions to the problems that cause these needs to arise. By addressing the issues that plague our society we hope to promote a future of justice through creating opportunities for young people and families to lead healthy and productive lives through community activism.

 The E.N.C.O. is a collective of community concerned everyday people like yourself. From teachers, artists, and business owners to students, retirees, and single parent families. Exodus Nation means more than just offering time to a worthy cause. We strive towards a much larger, global necessity- to break down the barriers between us all. This means we have no one goal that we subscribe to, but work as a liaison between multiple community specialist and the people.

With your support the future of the E.N.C.O. will consist of~

  1. Finding shelter and employment for our homeless communities in Columbus
  2. Men and women support groups and self defense classes
  3. Prison ministries and support with integration back into society
  4. Multi-media news/documentary coverage of community issues
  5. Public Service Announcements on Homeless Outreach, Aids/Cancer Awareness, and Education Issues
 
 And more as we continue to grow as a multicultural human development and community building organization.

 ~The mission of the E.N.C.O. Brown Bag Program- is to reach out to the homeless and less fortunate in Columbus, Ohio. 

 ~We collect donations from companies and individuals, then distribute brown bag lunches, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables to disadvantaged people in our communities.  The drive behind this initiative is our dedication to truly serving the people and additionally sharing the belief that sometimes "you have to feed people to reach people." 

 ~Exodus Nation means more than just offering time to a worthy cause. We strive towards a much larger, global necessity- to break down the barriers between us all. People living on the streets are no different than us. We share the same feelings, and we desire the same things. Love is love, fear is fear, anger is anger, and happiness is happiness. Those simple human emotions don't differ if you have a roof over your head or not. But no person should be homeless, or hungry. This project gives hope, breaks down those barriers, and brings us all together.

 ~We are issuing a call to residents, restaurants, and stores in all parts of Columbus to join in this project. It is of such importance because so many people in our community might go to bed without having had a decent meal. Especially at Christmas time, this program will remind everyone that we should share our bounty and help feed those who don't always have the means to provide for themselves.

 ~Our goal, to gather volunteers and donations every week from around the city and help hand out food and clothing. E.N.C.O. operates under the principle that all people are created equal and when given the tools, will thrive and bring about change in their own lives and the lives of their communities. Pick a weekend - any weekend - call us to let us know you're coming, and show up. It's surprisingly easy - and a few hundred people will thank you for it.

 ~This is more than just a holiday program. The E.N.C.O. vision is to conduct year round community activities, including our food drives. So that feeding this need is not just seasonal but something we address all the time. We have no ambition to replace existing food programs. Our intentions are to work side by side with them in supplementing the good work they already do, for as many people as they can in our city.

 ~This consistency will breed trust, and this trust will breed confidence. And that's what Exodus Nation is all about! Please consider getting involved in this unique and personal response to hunger in Columbus, Ohio. You too can make a difference.
