The Ohio State University incorporated Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment in January 1995 to promote improvements to the neighborhoods around Ohio State's Columbus campus. We have worked with the City of Columbus, neighborhood organizations and the university itself to prepare a comprehensive revitalization plan for these neighborhoods, known as the University District. Together, we are working to implement the recommendations contained in this plan.

Neighborhood Services Inc. (NSI) provides food, emergency assistance, friendly counsel, reliable referrals and faithful advocacy for the needy neighbors in the Ohio State University district neighborhoods.

NSI was founded in 1965 by churches in the OSU area who became aware of the growing needs of its nearby neighbors. From humble beginnings, NSI has grown into one of the largest food pantries in Columbus.

The working poor, especially those with children, are forced to turn to food pantries to help make ends meet.

With your help, NSI serves more than 700 people each month with food, clothing and other assistance. Nearly 40% of those we help are children. Their education is critical for an escape from poverty. For that reason, NSI offers programs for school supplies and new school clothing.

Neighbors in Action is a community organization made up of residents and property owners who live in an area bounded by 14th Avenue on the north, 12th Avenue on the south, N. 4th Street on the west, and the Conrail tracks on the east.

The purpose of the University Community Association is to encourage the viability of the University District as a unique community of neighborhoods through the following activities: promotion of appropriate preservation and development, recognition of the community's heritage and diversity, communications that extend a sense of community, leadership development, and the encouragement and support of initiatives of other organizations that further these efforts.

The University Community Association Board meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM at the Northwood-High Building, 2231 North High Street, Room 200, Columbus, OH 43201.
