Ohio Alleycat Resource

The Ohio Alleycat Resource is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run organization. We promote non-lethal population control for feral cat colonies. In particular we practice Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). We also offer low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter services for cats, currently on a monthly basis.

OAR also lends traps and gives advice on TNR to the public and runs a small rescue with adoptable cats and kittens.

We are looking for volunteers to do cat care and socialization in the rescue, participate in public education about TNR, work on fundraising projects, and work in the spay/neuter clinic.

We require a 1-hour volunteer orientation for all new volunteers. For information about volunteering, students can visit:

You can also email volunteer@theanimalrescue.com.
The organization is located in Madisonville.

Findlay Market Organization 1

We Provide Community Service in form of a Fresh Produce Market to Local Merchants and Shoppers in Over-the-Rhine Community.

http://www.findlaymarket.org/

Project Needs- Food-Stamp- Token Dispenser - Electrical - Mechanical Dispenser- Automating the dispensing of food stamp tokens would make the service

more convenient and discrete for the customer and less expensive for our farmers market. Food stamp shoppers could buy tokens whenever the market is open from a machine rather than from a person. The Corporation would not have to staff a cashiering station as it does now during some farmers market hours of operation. There are several manufacturers of token dispensing machinery for the arcade, golf course, car wash, and coin-op laundry industries. Some of that machinery is designed to accept payment by credit card but, at this time, none will accept payment by debit or other cards requiring PIN number authorization. We are continuing to investigate after-market modification of a token dispensing machine for the farmers market EBT program.
