Uniting the community to empower individuals and create pathways to opportunity in Central Ohio.
Welcome to Make-A-Day (MAD), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting the communities of central Ohio. Founded in 2018, MAD’s mission is to create moments of dignity, community, and service through outreach, advocacy, education, and acts of kindness.
Inspired by the legacy of Ralph Emrich, our founders’ grandfather, who devoted his life to serving others, MAD focuses on meeting individuals where they are, physically, emotionally, and socially, and offering solutions that move toward a more stable and fulfilling future. Through initiatives such as outreach events, MAD Solutions, and housing resource clinics, MAD prioritizes human-centered care, relationship-building, and creativity in all our efforts. We provide direct assistance with basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, while also offering opportunities for skill development, employment resources, and access to long-term support networks.
Our approach is about more than just immediate relief; it’s about building trust and fostering connections that allow individuals to regain their sense of dignity, self-worth, and agency. Whether through connecting someone to housing opportunities or offering educational workshops, MAD’s programs provide the foundation for individuals to thrive, gradually empowering them to take control of their own lives and pursue stability. We believe that by addressing both immediate and long-term needs, we can guide individuals toward a future filled with opportunity, dignity, and self-sufficiency.
