Submit Your Project Request

OCU Go Forth is an easy to use platform that connects those in need with those who are able to offer a helping hand. Volunteers are all around, but often times those needs go unnoticed until they are brought to light. OCU Go Forth was created to find those needs in our community and create opportunities for volunteers to fulfill those needs.

What projects can I get help with?

Generally speaking, most projects that volunteers can assist with are simple projects that can be easily accomplished by individuals, families, or groups, and do not require special tools, advanced skills, or a long time to complete.

The following projects may be shared by you to request assistance from volunteers.

Important Project Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to OCU Go Forth projects:

• Projects must be submitted by the neighbor actually requesting the assistance.  We do not share projects entered by referral organizations or third parties. 
• Projects within Gibson County zip codes are accepted.
• Because we are unable to do alterations on a home without the permission of the owner, the projects listed above marked with an asterisk (*) require you to be the deeded owner of the home in order to be considered.
• Because this is a volunteer-based program, we cannot ensure your project will be completed so it is not best suited for emergency repairs.  Also, projects are not completed in the order they are submitted, so we encourage you to seek other forms of assistance while you wait for a volunteer to adopt your project.

We hope that we are able to connect you with a community member to provide assistance. But even if we are unable to meet your physical needs, please know that our team at OCU will pray for you.

If you have any specific prayer requests or other spiritual needs, please email them to Matthew Hoffer.
