One Dublin

What One Dublin does

One Dublin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 43-2108808) founded in 2005 in Dublin, Ohio, operating under a faith-inspired mission to provide compassion and dignity to individuals and families within the Dublin City School District who are experiencing temporary hardship from job loss, health crises, or unplanned disruptions. Originally founded as Welcome Warehouse and rebranded to One Dublin, the organization runs a portfolio of community assistance programs organized around three pillars: Family Services, Educational Support, and Community Connections.

The program portfolio includes the Community Free Shop (walk-in retail providing free clothing and household essentials to district residents, supported by an online order form via Microsoft Forms), Emergency Household Assistance (direct bill payment for utilities, medical expenses, transportation, and furniture requiring referral from school counselors, clergy, or social service organizations), the Mattress PLUS Program (beds and furniture delivered in partnership with the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio), the Jean Griffith Back-to-School Celebration (annual drive-thru backpack and school-supply distribution at Emerald Campus), Adopt-A-Family/Adopt-A-Senior (holiday gift programs with gifts up to $100 per child plus a $50 grocery card and up to $50 per senior), and Spiritual Support (interfaith prayer and fellowship services). The organization also operates Connections to Other Organizations, providing referrals to partner agencies outside its scope.

The business model is donation-funded: One Dublin charges no fees to recipients, has 1-10 employees, and is supported by individual donors, corporate sponsors at Platinum ($10,000-$24,999) and Gold tiers (including Crawford Hoying, Cenovus Energy, City of Dublin, Hagerty, Crane Group, MTC, Columbus Foundation, Dublin Community Foundation, Fifth Third Bank), and strategic partners such as Dublin City Schools, Indian Run United Methodist Church, and Safe Space Dublin. Distribution operates through a physical office at 7032 Hospital Drive, monthly donation drop-off events, the walk-in Community Free Shop, and large community events. The organization reports serving 5,100+ people annually and is currently running a "20 for 20" 20th-anniversary capital campaign via Givebutter. Geographic scope is restricted to the Dublin City School District; no paid advertising, no online product sales, and no technology platform underpins operations.

Directly comparable to One Dublin's Emergency Household Assistance and Adopt-A-Family programs, though operating at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Mid-Ohio Food Collective (Mid-Ohio Foodbank): Regional foodbank serving 20 counties in central Ohio. A broader incumbent in the basic-needs space that overlaps with portions of One Dublin's mission and competes for the same corporate and foundation donors across central Ohio.
