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 warm greeting. A box of fresh food. A conversation that reminds them they’re not alone. 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. The average family of 3 earns a household income of $35K, while the cost of living for that same family is more than $100K. And not just families are struggling–young people hoping to start their lives in this beautiful community aren’t able to afford food, pay rent, or secure health insurance. FIRC provides the essential wraparound services that help residents afford healthy food and 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. 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
