As many of you know, philanthropy has always been important to me. Since moving to Columbus in 2005, I’ve had the pleasure of serving the Junior League, Childhood League, Dress for Success, Bexley Women’s Club, and more. Today I am pleased to announce a new partnership! I am teaming up with Value City Furniture to redesign the community center of Marsh Run, the flagship apartment complex of Central Ohio non-profit affordable housing developer Homeport. In Franklin County alone, there is a 54,000-unit housing gap for low-income residents. Homeport’s mission is to close that gap by providing access to affordable housing units, like Marsh Run Apartments, its largest property. Currently the Marsh Run community center is primarily used for children’s activities and programs, and we aim to turn it into a welcoming space where children can learn, parents can relax and families can gather. The featured image shown is a sneak peek at the concept for the main sitting area of the community center. Below I included the VCF press release with more details. I hope you’ll follow along as we transform the space! xx, Value City Furniture Announces Partnership with Homeport Retailer to renovate affordable housing community center in Columbus June 18, […]
