​“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” 
― Winston S. Churchill​
October 2019:
Invest Elyria is busy this month preparing for the rest of the calendar year. In the planning stages we are working with several people and organizations to make the end of this year memorable for those in need.

Some of the folks we are working with are:
  • Beth Doyle and her group "The Elyria Hookers" a knitting and sewing group for the Warming Drive during Compassion Week where last year IE and the Elyria Hookers were able to knit or collect over 1500 items that were put out in Elyria Square for anyone needing the hats, gloves, scarves, and other new and gently used clothing that Elyrians donated.
  • We will be distributing free produce and fruit to locations in Elyria till the end of October with food supplied by 2nd Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio. Fuel for our Mobile Market van and volunteer support supplied by Our F.A.M.I.L.Y.(Fathers and Mothers Involved In Local Youth)
  • Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority that is allowing us the use of one of their units at Wilkes Villa to provide a pantry once a month where we can distribute food to all that come by our location at 156 Pratt Blvd.
