1st Choice Family Services delivers during "Mission Giveback"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 1^st Choice Family Services (1stCFS), dedicated to providing essential and uncompromising quality services to developmentally disabled individuals in Ohio,  is  handing over school supplies, toys, clothing and food to fellow Ohioans who need it most during its first "Mission Giveback."

Mission Giveback's goal is to collect donations from employees and the community for those experiencing increasing hardships made worse by the current health crisis. 1^st Choice offices in Columbus and Findlay also pitched in and donated canned goods, toiletries, toys and school materials. The two month long drive wrapped up with 1^st Choice Family Services delivering carloads of the needed articles.

In Columbus, the donations are benefiting students in the Whitehall School District and The Salvation Army. In Findlay, the donations are going to the Hope House and the area's City Mission.

"There isn't an Ohio community that hasn't been touched by economic problems brought on by the pandemic," says Aonist Coles, CEO of 1^st Choice Family Services.  1^st Choice Family Services not only cares about those in the developmental disability community but also others in need. There are tough times everywhere due to layoffs, furloughs and businesses shutting down and some are hurting more than others."

"Never has it been a more important time to continue to unite, donate and help each other get through the current rocky times."
