There is currently a national shortage of home aides available to help older adults in need of cleaning services, and they cannot thrive if they are constantly worrying about their living environment. Support for At Home by High's Better Together project will help cover the cost of professional cleaning and laundry services for the remainder of 2022.

With your help, AHBH can continue to maintain the healthy living environment that older adults in our community deserve!

Joanna Pinkerton accepts the 2022 Spirit of Columbus Award on behalf of the work she and thousands of team members at the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) for going above and beyond to show steadfastness, courage, and resolve by putting others first during unquestionably historic times—demonstrating the Spirit of Columbus remains alive and well in our community.

Every year on the anniversary of Jerrie Mock's historic flight around the world in her single-engine Cessna named Spirit of Columbus, the Foundation recognizes members of our community who, like Jerrie, exhibit bravery, boldness, and determination through their efforts and accomplishments.
