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.
