IPM's Mission:
To provide food, clothing and other communal support to those in need and to empower clients with information, support and services to improve their lives.
Hunger happens right here in our Cincinnati suburbs and surrounding rural areas, and IPM provides a little food to carry people through. Food donations are needed year 'round, not just at Thanksgiving and Christmas!
If you have a group or organization other than a school that would like to conduct a food drive, please contact Sarah Cadle for information at (513)561-3932 or sarah@interparish.org
Provides a safe haven for families to discuss concerns, locate resources to address short-term needs, and move to long term solutions.
The Mentoring And Planning Program (MAPP) is a first of its kind multi-generational program designed to assist low income individuals by assessing their individual needs and supporting them through a one on one volunteer connection that will help them move toward a more self reliant future. The MAPP components include but are not limited to:
Helping through times of crisis by supplying food, clothing and other needs as appropriate.
Provides food and seasonal clothing year round to those in need. Special holiday programs offer Thanksgiving and Christmas food items.
Provided by Mercy Health Partners offer health check ups, assistance with medications, wellness programs, and health counseling.
Weekly visits and planned activities at local nursing homes.
Make the holidays brighter for area low-income families.

We are grateful to the many churches, businesses and individuals who contributed backpacks and school supplies for our 2010 Back to School Program.
According to the National Retail Federation, the average family with school-age children will spend $110.00 on school supplies this year. Due to the current state of the economy, many low-income families are not able to come up with that extra $110.00. That is why our Back to School Program is so important to the families we serve.
Thanks to Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan in Amelia for hosting the distribution.
