Imagine helping one motivated job seeker find meaningful work every week.

That's exactly what OPEN M's Employment Services team is doing.

In 2025, our team of just two staff members helped 52 individuals secure employment in healthcare, manufacturing, education, the public sector, and more. That's one life changed every single week.

Now imagine what could happen with even more community support.

Your sponsorship of the OPEN Your Heart Breakfast helps provide job readiness training, career coaching, and employer partnerships that strengthen Akron's workforce while honoring the dignity of work.

Join us on Wednesday, September 9, at Firestone Country Club and see how your support creates opportunities for our neighbors.

OPEN M had the honor of being on MS Now Connect With Jacob Soboroff last month to highlight our nutrition program and how our community is doing in today's economy.

Today, OPEN M has the amazing opportunity to return to the show. Food Service Manager Marcia Campo will highlight our vital work and the struggles Akron is facing.

In OPEN M’s immediate service area, families face extreme hardship, quadruple the national average, with the City of Akron being double the national average. Tune in today, Sunday, August 2nd, between 12:30 and 12:35 to hear Marcia share.

Thank you, Marcia and the food service team, for your dedication and love you share daily in our community.
