Cortland Humanitarian Outreach Worldwide

aka CHOW   |   Cortland, OH   |  www.chowohio.org

Mission

CHOW is a local effort to have a worldwide impact for the relief and benefit of those in need.  The organized attempt by the community to collect humanitarian aid benefits the world's poor as well as our planet. The unused and discarded materials of one society, instead of cluttering landfills, can become the useful items needed by poor families and children in our community, our country, and around the world.  Such items include clothing, books, school supplies and equipment, toys, sports equipment, medical supplies, household items, and food.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Central American Outreach

CHOW collects school desks, student supplies, and teacher supplies and sends them to schools in Central and South America.  The desks and other school equipment are picked up by CHOW volunteers from schools who are discarding them, thus saving them from being dumped into landfills.

Population(s) Served

CHOW collects nonperishable food, like-new household goods, clothes furniture, and books which are taken to Grahn School Community Center in Grahn, KY.  Some of the donations are put in the food pantry, some are sold in the thrift shop, some are used as rewards in the summer Reading Program, and some are given away as Christmas gifts to needy families.

Population(s) Served

CHOW donates canvas bags filled with school supplies to Beatitude House/ Potter's Wheel, a program in which disadvantaged women complete their high school and/or college educations.
