Shoppers Club Temporarily Closed; Consulting/Coaching Project Update; Building Blocks Rescheduled

OneSource Center has made the difficult decision to temporarily close our Shoppers Club operation due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and to support community-wide closures that encourage social distancing for containment of virus spread. Our goal is to assist the nonprofit community through these unprecedented times, and we look forward to offering our full service offerings shortly. But you can still email us to purchase items from our product update emails. 
 
Current OneSource Center consulting and coaching projects will continue utilizing teleconferencing for meetings in lieu of face-to-face contact. Questions re: consulting/coaching projects should be directed to Vickie Ciotti.
 
Following region-wide guidelines, we will be rescheduling currently scheduled Building Blocks training workshops. Registered attendees will be contacted as more information is available. More information on schedules will be published as the current situation evolves.
 
Office phones will not be staffed as we are encouraging non-warehouse staff to work remotely, following region-wide guidelines.  Questions can be directed to CEO Christie Brown at 513-601-8402.
 
We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes. We hold our nonprofit community, medical staff and public servants in our thoughts as they run front-line operations serving those in need in our community. The mission of OneSource Center is as important as ever, and we look forward to working collaboratively with the region to move forward to brighter days ahead.

Moving Forward Through Concerns

The Coronavirus has everyone concerned as all sectors plan for how best to respond in light of continuing updates and response recommendations. 

There are many trusted sources for general information, but The Chronicals of Philanthropy has published a collection of articles on how nonprofits can respond to the Coronavirus outbreak and a special report as well. TechSoup taped its free “COVID-19 Webinar “ providing a crash course in all of the nonprofit specific training courses that have been developed by TechSoup and Microsoft to help nonprofits get the most out of the tools they already have. Additionally, starting immediately, GoToMeeting will be offering critical front-line service providers with free, organization-wide use of many LogMeIn products for 3 months through the availability of Emergency Remote Work Kits. They have also posted a blog 8 Tricks for First-Time Remote Workers

Zonta Grant due April 1

Zonta Club Cincinnati will award four $500 grants. Applying organizations/projects must be aligned with the mission, goals and strategies of Zonta International and the ZCC which relates to women and children’s health, education and advocacy. Applications due April 1.  More information is available at the OneSource Center Nonprofit Calendar.
