Volunteer

There are many ways to get involved at the Newman Center, including Service & Justice ministries and Liturgy & Music ministries. While looking through our site, if you find a ministry that calls to you, please don't hesitate to contact the staff liaison or group leader and ask how you can become involved in that ministry!

Special Announcement

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and for the health and safety of our volunteers and all they serve, we're cancelling most volunteer participation in our ministries for now.

Food Collection

Food Collection for Buckeye Food Alliance
The Buckeye Food Alliance was established in 2014 by five roommates who became aware of food insecurity among OSU students, who sometimes go without food in order to pay the costs of their education and housing.  It is estimated that up to 15% of students at Ohio State lack consistent access to food.  The Newman Center is supporting Buckeye Food Alliance’s mission by hosting a food collection in September. Most needed items are:
  •  pasta and pasta sauce
  •  cereal
  •  canned tuna
  •  canned fruits and vegetables
  •  oatmeal
  •  spices and seasonings
  •  snack foods
Please place your donations in the shopping cart located in the North Gathering Space before or after Masses during the weekend. If you're not attending Mass in person but would like to help, you can send a monetary donation to the Newman Center at 64 W. Lane Ave. Columbus OH 43201 (checks payable to Newman Center and write "Buckeye Food Alliance collection"on check memo). 

Deadline is Sunday, Sept. 20. If you have any questions, please contact Suzana Silva. For information about the Buckeye Food Alliance, please visit www.buckeyefoodalliance.org. Thank you!
