VISTA volunteers in our area have been involved in the distribution of surplus food commodities. and their activities included locating ethnic seniors who are unable to speak English and are often excluded from subsistence programs. These examples from Toledo are replicated across Ohio from the Pike County Canning Center which is improving the nutritional needs of area lowincome people. to the Ohio Youth Service Network which is working with runaway and other troubled youth across the State. to the Columbus. Ohio. Literacy Council which has provided English lessons to refugees. unemployed Americans. and others in need of assistance. In each of these instances. VISTA has promoted selfhelp and garnered private sector resources.
