OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence

They have offered my small non-profit consistently great advice and assistance for nearly 25 years. We would not be here without them.

One Source has been an excellent resource for Africa Fire Mission- especially as we moved into our first office suite and needed furniture! We were grateful to get everything we needed for a fantastic rate and one stop shopping!

They are amazing! From educational needs to furniture needs, OneSource Center has nonprofits covered!!! They are such a blessing for Cincinnati nonprofits!!!!

Olivet Food Pantry has been a member of One Source for three years. We have use One Source for office supplies and furniture for our Pantry . We receive vouchers to better serve and assist our much needed families who attend the pantry .
The families are very appreciative of the items they purchase from One-source. A parent was in tears after being sheltered for some time ,the family came back together, the vouchers help with household items and clothing for the children . With gratitude and much appreciation Olivet Food Pantry
Is honored to be members of One Source

OneSource is intentional about its mission which is simply put “help non-profits THRIVE”.

Coming from smaller 501c-3 lenses, groups don’t know what they don’t know. OneSource is that teacher, mentor and partner along for the journey. OneSource is definitely paving the highway for others to travel on.

I have worked for several nonprofits and have never worked for one quite like OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence. OneSource Center is so unique, in that the work we do impacts the entire Greater Cincinnati Nonprofit community. In turn, this work with nonprofits impacts the entire Greater Cincinnati area. By serving other nonprofits, and partnering with for profits, in our area through consulting, training, coaching, and our Common Good Store, OneSource Center is able to maximize the good that we do in our region. OneSource Center is available for all of your nonprofit's needs and we greatly appreciate the support of our members, donors, sponsors, board members, consultants and everyone who contributes their efforts to OneSource Center. Together, we build a thriving community for all.

For over 22 years, iSPACE, a 501(c)(3) STEM learning center, benefited tremendously from services we received from OneSource. I retired as executive director from iSPACE in 2017. When I considered what I wanted to do with all the new-found time on my hands, it was a no-brainer. I chose to give back to OneSource for all they had given to me and to iSPACE. I serve as a consultant, a coach, and on various committees at OneSource. I consider it a privilege to volunteer for such an effective, caring organization and its incredibly capable and dedicated staff.

Nonprofits throughout the Greater Cincinnati greatly profit from all the incredible resources available through OneSource Center. I recommend the organization highly and often! Does your organization need consulting, coaching or training? How about mission supplies and office furniture available at pennies on the dollar? Mission support for "back of the house" needs? Don't hesitate to reach out to OneSource Center for assistance. They want to help!

OneSource has been a great resource for our school. We have been able to access furniture that we could otherwise not afford. Our school looks more beautiful because of OneSource. Beth is amazing at helping!

Everyday I get to help many nonprofits in our community. I do that by providing them with the products and furniture from our Common Good Store and Furniture Bank.
We take in donations from corporations that are changing their look, changing locations or just have more furniture than they need. In turn I get to help some great nonprofits fill their offices with great product at a greatly reduced price, leaving their program dollars doing what they do best, strengthening our thriving community.

One Source has been great in helping us develop and implement our strategic plan. We also have obtained a new conference table and chairs at a reasonable price! We are grateful for their support!

I love one source i work for a non profit that service ove a 100 women at a time we have several functions a year for the women. One we do is womens day in March for womens month and I am in charged of the gift bags with a very smal budget with one source I can come and get a love of things we take for granted daily and the women love it and a lot of time I can get more. My office is decked out in the furniture and looks great and give me space if I had to pay regular price for the two nice book cases I got my job would have said no. Also I do group four days a week I keep my group members organized and they are motivated to do their best with the folders, binders, highlighter pens we get so much done and I would never get to offer this if we were buying from staples. This place helps so much on so many different levels. Last year we needed coats badly and I went to see if they had any yes they did they were new, nice looking, warm and fordable we also got some boots at one time. This place is a true blessing for a non profit with very limited budget but with one source I get to do it big for my clients and see them smile from ear to ear keep up the good work. Especially Beth who knows her agaencies and reacheas out if she feel she has something they can use. Thank a lot

I have used Resource for 16 years and we have received many desk, office chairs, filing cabinets, flooring ,tools, office supplies and many other items. They have been outstanding to work with. In my opinion they are vital to the communities success.

From the beginning of our relationship with OneSource (when they used to be ReSource Cincinnati) to now, they have been a blessing to our 110 members of the United Pet Fund. The ability to shop for useful items that all non-profits can use at pennies-on-the dollar prices has opened up avenues to them that did not exist before. Budgets are tight for animal welfare organizations, so any savings are tremendous to them. In earlier times, the seminars put on by their retired 'business people' helped our members to realize what it takes to run a non-profit in a manner that will allow their sustainability. We truly appreciate partnering with them!

Our agency and school have been with this oranization for many years. We've been able to purchase so many items , making it possible to operate our businesss more successfully.

They are wonderful to work with. They are always so helpful in finding items that we need for our nonprofit.

OneSource offers us access to resources we would never have without them. They are our go to resource for furniture, office equipment and supplies.

During the pandemic, they supported us with life saving PPE that we could not source anywhere else.

Thank you OneSource

Great customer service. Always willing to ask what our need is and how they can help. We have also been very happy with the quality of merchandise.

OneSource has been nothing but amazing!! Our organization has grown because of the items we are able to get at OneSource. We are able to serve more families and provide more services thanks to OneSource

OneSource has been an amazing resource for furniture, cafe items, and office supplies. They are always friendly and supportive.

OneSource Center has been a valued partner as we reach out and impact the community. They help us stretch our dollars by allowing us to buy office products and supplies as well as furniture for our group homes at substantial savings. Thank you for being there for us!!!

One Source has a tremendous impact in the Greater Cincinnati Region! Not only do they provide gently used office furniture and much more to our community's non profits, but they also provide numerous informative organizational development seminars to help non profits optimize their effectiveness! They serve as a tremendous network resource for our charitable organizations.

OneSource is a great nonprofit that helps other profits focus on their mission by providing office furnishings, mentoring, and strategic help. Definitely do great work!!

I've been a volunteer consultant with ESCC before they merged with OneSource and with OneSource since; a total of over 10 years. OneSource is an all purpose provider of assistance to non-profits. We can provide consulting help on a variety of business related challenges such as Board creation, strategic planning, marketing, business operations improvement and more. Additionally, OneSource provides low cost furniture and supplies to area non-profits. I am proud to be a small part of OneSource.

As a retired non profit executive, Onesource provides me with opportunities to give back to the industry as a volunteer consultant. Advising Executive Directors on financial best practices so they can attract funding is gratifying. I value the relationships with other consultants and the dedicated staff. I'm proud to be a volunteer with Onesource.

I attended OneSource's annual fundraising Gala last year and was moved by just how many lives and organizations they have positively impacted. Every member of staff or volunteer I had the pleasure of speaking with was friendly, helpful, and passionate about their mission. I spoke to many at the event who had nothing but good to say about the organization, and I am proud to count myself among their donors!

Our organization has been a member of the OneSource Center Shoppers Club for many years, and have been able to stretch our operational budget through this affiliation. We are a faith-based organization, and have been able to support numerous ministry outreach efforts as well through items available. The staff is helpful and resourceful in helping us fulfill our mission of serving others.

OneSource Center provides help to nonprofits all over the Cincinnati area, saving agencies money and guiding them to success through training and consulting services. I know of many nonprofits that have been able to stretch their mission reach by utilizing OneSource Center's offerings. What a benefit they are to our community!

As a volunteer for OneSource, I have been impressed with the variety and depth of resources they have available to assist any nonprofit. Through their innovative approaches and passionate leadership, they are a key component in assisting nonprofits to become the best version of themselves and to make the largest impact possible in the community. It is always a rewarding experience to be part of their team.

When you need to come to one place to get help to strengthen, focus and support your mission, you come to OneSource. There is a team of professionals waiting to share their knowledge and experience with you as you develop or pivot your resources to continue your mission. As a redistribution center for corporate overstock we have the opportunity to help you by filling your furniture needs as well as get some great products from the MarketPlace into your hands at a fraction of the retail cost.
My experience with OneSource now includes interacting on a daily basis with the customers and clients that we support. Checking out most of the clients through the showroom at our new location on Dalton Street, I have been able to learn about the missions of the organizations that shop here. Often directing them to resources that they didn’t know we had.
Working at OneSource has given me the home that I’ve been looking for to finish my working career. We care, we work and we thrive together.

OneSource Center has demonstrated its excellence and commitment to the nonprofit community yet again. Over the past few months, the organization has relocated to a fabulous new, very accessible location, and pivoted to deliver just the type of consulting services most needed by nonprofits during these challenging times.

OneSource Center is an incredible center for nonprofits in the Cincinnati area. I am particularly impressed with an offering from OneSource Center that allows nonprofits to borrow a large variety of décor items for fundraising and member support events. The offerings allow nonprofits to use these beautiful items creatively for their special events and save a tremendous amount of money – money that can be used in other areas of mission. The staff and volunteers are extremely supportive of nonprofits. I am proud to work with this organization helping those that are on the front lines making a difference in the lives of so many.

OneSource, the result of a merger between the Executive Service Corps of Cincinnati and ResSource, has been serving nonprofits for over 20 years. As a volunteer I have seen first-hand how OneSource has been able to make a real difference in hundreds of area non-profits by providing coaching, consulting, training, and other resources such as furniture, office supplies, and service referrals. OneSource has worked with a wide variety of nonprofits including start-ups and large sophisticated organizations representing almost every sector of nonprofit services. It has been a pleasure helping other nonprofits work to achieve their missions.

OneSource is an outstanding and unique non-profit in the Cincinnati area. It is the non-profit supporting the non-profits, providing business consulting services, and training, development, and leadership sessions. Add to that the furniture and office supplies they sell to the non-profits at a very discounted price. OneSource strengthens our local non-profits and through its work, our community.

OneSource has 30+ years of successful, active commitment to strengthening greater Cincinnati nonprofits. The organization provides key skill building knowledge via its Building Blocks education series, offers members a wide variety of donated materials - durable & consumable, stretching those operating budgets & delivers consulting services such as strategic planning, leadership & board development skills. OneSource is committed to delivering on its mission of helping nonprofits strengthen their impact in our community.

OneSource helps provide a solid foundation for non-profits to grow and excel. Their consulting skills are excellent and the furniture and other items OneSource provides help non-profits to get up and running.

I continue to believe in this incredible nonprofit which supports all nonprofits in the Greater Cincinnati region. Nonprofits leaders can receive expert consulting or coaching guidance to help their agency further expand their mission; staff can expand their capabilities through a wide-range of training and leadership development opportunities; and nonprofits can obtain needed office furniture and retail products to help serve their constituents better. The staff and volunteers are helpful and resourceful. I encourage all nonprofits to look into services and products offered here.

They are always willing to help you find products. They are so nice when you come in the door. Love going there and shopping for items that we can use. Have lots of items to choose from.

My organization has benefited from OneSource in two distinct ways. As a new executive director, I was able to attend an outstanding training session on fundraising that was well attended and very well presented. Then, last month, we were able to shop for furniture for our Center, purchasing chairs, file drawers and cabinets, all for less than $100. I am looking forward to more training and more shopping this summer!

The Training offered really helps our staff. The products help our clients. Great 5 star organization helping our region's non profits.

The OneSource vision just makes sense: better nonprofit organizations create a better community. As a volunteer, I have never been embraced with open arms like I am at OneSource. They make you feel apart of their team and of the bigger picture. You can’t help but ask what else you can do for this amazing organization. OneSource exceeded my expectations, and I have no doubt they will continue to do so.

OneSource provides outstanding support to our local non-profits to enable their continued success and community support. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and ready to help anyone who walks in the door. Community volunteers support OneSource by providing consulting services and coordinating fundraising events . OneSource is unique in its mission and a jewel for our city.

I have volunteered with OneSource Center for Nonprofit Excellence for over seven years in a variety of different roles. I have been blessed to have seen first hand the impressive difference this organization has made in our local nonprofit community. OneSource takes a comprehensive approach with their mission providing services ranging from coaching/mentoring nonprofit professionals to be the next leaders of organizations, to providing gently used office furniture to nonprofit organizations at discount prices, to offering a variety of training and leadership development opportunities that promote nonprofit excellence. It is a pleasure to give my time, talent and resources to OneSource in order for Greater Cincinnati nonprofits to grow and prosper.

I love to volunteer for OneSource - By helpingthis organization you are leveraging your talents to help a lot of people. Also, the people at OneSource are so appreciative and respectful of your time and talents. GREAT ORGANIZATION !!!

I have just joined OneSource and have nothing but positive comments about the professionalism, expertise of the volunteer consultants and exceptional training.

ESCC (One Source Center) utilizes my skills effectively. I feel like my efforts are appreciated by the client and ESCC. I thoroughly enjoy and am proud to be a volunteer.

OneSource is a one of its kind institution for the Greater Cincinnati area. It is a one-stop solution provider for non-profit organizations by providing consultation services. It also helps organizations save their dollars with buying furniture and supplies at the marketplace. The staff is very friendly and always proactive to help.

A team of colleagues and I recently had the opportunity to work with OneSource as they combined the skills and talents of ReSource and ESCC into their new team. The energy for their mission and vision is contagious. Their heart for serving Greater Cincinnati's nonprofits is undeniable!

One of the greatest benefits of ReSource is the fact that those of us who serve others in low income communities can have access to materials and resources that we otherwise may not be able to get. Having the opportunity to obtain the necessary everyday items is a big plus, and ReSource is a blessing for providing that. For small agencies, having a place like ReSource is fantastic. They have been a blessing beyond a blessing.

Everyone is so nice and helpful!
The inventory is very organized and easy to see/reach.
Prices are visible and there is always someone available to answer a question if needed.
You will find something new every visit!

ReSource fills an important role in the non-profit community. By accepting donations from businesses and making them accessible to non-profit organizations, ReSource helps to save non-profits valuable funding. In addition to the supplies available for purchase in ReSource's warehouse, the organization also serves non-profits by providing an event decor loan program and providing leadership seminars. The employees at ReSource have a passion for service, and do a great job to help build better non-profits.

We at The RCF Group donate as much as we can on behalf of Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Resources is a valued client that we use to donate non standard furniture to on behalf of CCHMC. It allows us to keep it out of the landfills and they always manage to find a good home for the items donated. It is always a pleasure to work with Christie Brown and her team.

I have volunteered for ReSource for about 3 years as interior design support for our community makeovers and annual fundraisers. It is an amazing non-profit that supports other non-profits with office furniture and supplies donated by Cincinnati businesses. ReSource keeps so much useable product out of the landfills, a community WIN-WIN!!!

ReSource does an outstanding job of collecting donated furniture and supplies and making them available to local nonprofit agencies. The staff has a heart for service and does an excellent job of reaching out to the community. I am very happy to volunteer at an agency that provides a much needed service.

Alpha II Housing Alternatives Inc. has benefited greatly from the services and supplies that we have purchased at Resource. We are able to get HIGH QUALITY merchandise at a price that we can afford.

The training classes that you offer have also been valuable for our non profit.

ReSource is an exceptional organization - serving as a nonprofit for the benefit of other nonprofits. ReSource's mission frees up valuable resources for other nonprofits to better help the community. Great organization!

ReSource is a great asset to our community, taking unwanted furniture from local businesses and giving local non-profits purchase at a fraction of the original cost. These products go to local group in need such as school, religious organizations and service agencies.

The Community Resource Center does great work on behalf of non-profits throughout Greater Cincinnati. The organization provides much needed education services, furnishings and other items to these groups at very discounted rates in an effort to help them fulfill their mission on a daily basis.

The ReSource Center has been a part of my minstres and life since the days at the old Jordan's Crossing.

Presently in my ministry as the Pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church & School. Located in the West End of Cincinnati since 1846.
We are an urban ministerial complete parish community servicing a racially and economicly deversed congregation and the greater community.

With the resources of the ReSource Center. From everything from office funture to nuts and bolts.
The ReSources Center and their great staff have assisted me and my parish in our ongoing and never ending ministries.

The ReSource Center is a blessing to our community.

Thank you for all that you guys do and the resources that you share with all of us.

Resource was a huge contributor for our new family center in Lower Price Hill (The Joe Williams Family Center)! We received an abundance of furniture that was not only beautiful, but also functional! It exceeded all of our expectations! The staff members were extremely organized with possible layouts of each room and had an array of furniture options for us to look at and give our input. Everything that functions out of our new center was made possible because of the generosity, time, and knowledge of the team at Resource! We are extremely grateful!

Great charity serving non-profits across the city.

ReSource has been helping our nonprofit for a long time. As a small Catholic parish, our budget is tight. ReSource has allowed us to purchase quality items that fit within our means. Their selection is very good, the prices are extremely fair, and the staff is always helpful. We are glad to be a part of this community!

We are a church in the West Chester, Ohio area that has been blessed by the ReSource Center time, and again. Not only do they have a great selection, but the prices are more than fair - and determined with non-profits in mind. Their leadership and staff has been utterly accommodating and frequently goes the extra mile to serve our staff through their inventory, but especially in their humility and kindness.
Cheers to Christie and the Crew at ReSource for their hearts to meet the real needs of non-profits.

Comparing the contribution to the community made by Resource to other nonprofit organizations where I have volunteered, I am extremely impressed. The dedication and organization of the management team and their ability to meet the needs of their members is outstanding. They take the time to understand the community and members they serve and are always striving to improve. Additionally they take their mission statement to heart and use it to guide them on a day to day basis.

Easter Seals TriState has the pleasure of visiting ReSource frequently as we are often on the lookout for furniture and office items for our locations. We are committed to recycling and reusing, and we feel fortunate to have an organization like ReSource in our community. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It's special when two non-for-profit organizations come together to provide services to each other. We enjoy working with ReSource.

Having ReSource as a local community organization benefits the local economy, the environment, and provides efficiency with resources. We love that our surplus furniture and supplies can find a new home rather than go to the landfill. ReSource has been an amazing partner for us.

ReSource is a wonderful supporter of Greater Cincinnati nonprofits! Saving office furniture from the landfill and re-distributing it to local nonprofits at low cost, and providing training on important organizational topics like finance and media, ReSource is helping local nonprofits stretch their dollars and break down barriers to achieving their goals. A great boon to our community!

Resource is a great organization to be apart of - Building Stronger Non Profits in greater Cinncinnati communities.

When you think of organizations that truly serve their community, ReSource fits the bill.
As a volunteer, Board Member for the last 13 years, i have seen the change that ReSource brings to its Member Organizations.

With its monthly educational seminars, product sales, or interaction with other NFP's in the Cincinnati, it continues to raise the bar in keeping organizations focused on their mission.

Our office just donated office furniture to ReSource and my staff commented about how professional, accommodating, and thankful they were for the donation.

I will continue to recommend ReSource to others for donations and NFP's for membership.

Respectfully submitted,

S. Gregor Lamping, CPA

ReSource is such a wonderful organization. It is proof of the ripple effect of giving. ReSource stays true to its mission, building stronger non-profits, by providing a common sense solution for companies to donate still useful products to local non-profits. The warehousing capabilities of ReSource allow those non-profits to get the times they need, when they need them.

The ReSource staff is hard working and helpful. They also hold great, inexpensive seminars for employees of non-profits to help them better run their organizations.

I have served as a Board Member for nine years. This organization is truly unique in that they reach so many other non-profits with critical items. We provide "access to excess", and help bridge the business community with so many deserving organizations.

ReSource is helping other non-profit organizations grow- so their impact is tenfold.
Operationally it is very lean. The people within the organization are smart & passionate about the mission of serving other non-profits. ReSource gathers unwanted, gently used, and overstock products that non-profit agencies can truly use. So proud to be associated with ReSource, their mission, values, and dedication are making Cincinnati and the world around us a better place.

I have been proud to serve ReSource (the Community Resource Center, Inc.) as a board member since 2012. The agency provides two separate benefits to the community. When local corporations move or remodel, they often have limited options besides a landfill for the furniture and other materials they are replacing. ReSource arrives with a truck and a crew, providing a service that saves money for those businesses and keeps usable goods from being wasted.

More importantly, when local nonprofits need new furniture or supplies, ReSource is often the only option that is within their budgets. And ReSource also provides training and guidance to strengthen the member organizations who are helping our community in so many different ways.

I love hearing from other nonprofits about how much ReSource has meant to them and their own missions. To support ReSource is to support children's services and mental health providers and schools and food banks and many, many more agencies who are making Cincinnati a better place.

ReSource brings a unique value to the greater Cincinnati community. We are the go-to conduit between corporate donors who have excess inventory and durable goods and member not-for-profits who can efficiently and cost-effectively obtain those donated items to help further their purpose/mission, and stretch budget dollars. For more than 25 years, ReSource has been committed to helping reduce landfill and improve the buying power for member not-for-profit organizations. Additionally, our education seminars provide essential skills and operational savvy for not-for-profit leaders, board members, staff and volunteers.

I have served in various roles with ReSource over the last 7 years from volunteer, committee member, board member and even a short stint as the interim director.

I got involved with ReSource because, in the words of our former board chair, "It just makes sense". Corporates generate excess furniture, supplies and other items that are completely usable, but they don't have the time or expertise to get them to the right non-profits. Non-profits need that surplus but have no idea how to get it or who to ask. ReSource makes that connection.

ReSource effectively adds over $1 million per year to its members budgets by providing much needed items at a substantially reduced cost, and it does so on a shoestring budget.

I have been involved with ReSource for 6 years first serving on their Development Committee, then leasing their Counsel of Emerging Leaders, and finally I am currently a member of their Board. Over the past several years, I have personally seen them help hundreds of non-profits by saving them overhead expenses to by office furniture and other products for pennies on the dollar. It truly is a great "resource" to the Greater Cincinnati community to allow other non-profits to get the items they need to run their business successfully at a low amount, so they can focus their capital on their mission.

Great resource for non-profits in the Greater Cincinnati and beyond region. They accept corporate donations of everything from toothpaste to shop tools and furniture and office supplies in between. I used them i the 80s to get a printer for our community council newsletter. ReSource also has best practices educational training for non-profits.

I've been involved on the Board of ReSource for the past couple of years and every day I get more impressed as I realize the impact ReSource is having in our community. Not only does ReSource take corporate surplus and redistribute it within the non-profit community, saving the non-profits much-needed operational dollars, but ReSource also offers monthly training sessions for its non-profit members on topics that help strengthen the organizations overall such as Board Development, Grant Writing, Cost Analysis, Navigating Social Media, and Teamwork. ReSource operates as a non-profit FOR non-profits...and I'm very proud to be associated with them and to do what I can to help us achieve our mission.

ReSource has been in operation for more than 20 years, and serves other non-profit members in the region by warehousing donated office furniture and consumables, and then making that inventory available to those organizations that need updated furniture and miscellaneous supplies. This service saves member organizations over $1M/year, and helps reduce materials that would otherwise be sent to our landfills. ReSource benefits member organizations and our community. I have been involved with the organization for the past 4 years, and am proud of the work they have done and continue to do.
