CLEVELAND, Ohio-The West Side Community House (WSCH), a longstanding nonprofit in Cleveland, is facing urgent financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic. Founded in 1890, WSCH relies mainly on grants, donations, and local support to sustain its operations.
Despite its rich history, the organization is struggling to maintain essential services, particularly for seniors and the disabled. The nonprofit’s food truck program, which delivers meals to those in need, requires additional funding for maintenance, fuel, and wages. WSCH provides various programs, including children and family services, arts programs, and maternal health initiatives, but lacks sufficient funds to sustain them. Urgent financial assistance is needed to maintain these vital services, cover building expenses, meet payroll needs, and update administrative infrastructure.
