WORKSITE INFORMATION
|
Dayton Ohio is a
vibrant and powerful city of life, excitement and history. Founded
in 1796, Dayton has
a rich, creative history through its inventions of the first
airplane, the ice cream cone and the soda pop pull tab! Because of
local business fallout, Dayton is also home to an unemployment
rate higher than the state average. Through the efforts of
Catholic Heart Workcamp and its participants, Dayton Ohio can
continue its mission to flourish again as a city of countless
possibilities and endless opportunities.
Although 90% of the work projects are home
repair, We also work at a YWCA as well as 2 homeless
shelters and 2 food banks.
