FIRC is all of us. Your gift builds a Summit County where neighbors support neighbors and families stay rooted, no matter the challenges. Every week, someone walks through FIRC’s doors feeling unsure - and walks out with hope. A box of fresh food. Parenting support. Healthcare navigation. Rental assistance. A step towards stability. Your gift matters. Thank you!
FIRC believes that everyone should be able to work, stay, and succeed in Summit County. 1 in 3 people living in Summit County cannot afford to live here, and the average family of 3 earns a household income of $35K, while the cost of living for that same family is more than $100K.
FIRC provides the essential wraparound services that help residents afford healthy food and secure housing, navigate healthcare challenges, and create the connections and stability they need to stay and create a life in Summit County.
This season, we're reminded that lasting change happens when communities come together with neighbors helping neighbors.
Please visit the FIRC website for more details.
"Nobody chooses to get sick. I like to work - I’m a hardworking person, but when you can’t, you can’t. FIRC gave me the support that has allowed me to live. My ALMA compañera told me 'Just focus on living; we’ll support you,' and they did." - Nataly, FIRC Client
Opening doors and unleashing our community's potential.
Since its founding in 1993, FIRC has been a cornerstone of Summit County, dedicated to opening doors and unlocking potential for our community members.
Your gift’s importance is visible in the scale of the need. This year, nearly one in three Summit County locals turned to FIRC for 38,177 unique services. Our Community Food Markets recorded 33,972 visits and distributed over $7.6 million of food value, serving 650 to 700 families each week. More than 500 volunteers stood beside us. Every one of these numbers holds a local story of connection, dignity, and progress.
As Summit County's local resource center, FIRC’s vision is to foster an environment where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Your generous donation goes beyond just a financial contribution - it is an investment in the resilience and prosperity of our neighbors. Together, we can support those navigating life’s challenges and help them seize new opportunities.
