News & Events

Famicos is proud to be one of the organizations that was awarded funding by the Ohio Department of Health. We plan to use the funding we were awarded to hire a community health liaison to help run the lead remediation, food distribution, vaccination, and health screening programs in the Hough, Glenville and St.Clair-Superior neighborhoods.

During our Annual Meeting we premiered this video showcasing some of the work the Famicos Foundation is doing in Glenville as Purpose Built Communities’ community quarterback.

The Famicos Foundation and Republic Services are partnering to restore historic St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church on East Blvd into a Family Center. Originally built in 1911, St. Mark’s was a fixture in Cleveland’s Civil Rights Movement. By restoring this building and preserving its historic elements, Famicos will celebrate Glenville’s rich history and transform a long-vacant building into a community center and event and performance space for Glenville Residents. Matt Traitses from Republic Services joins us to discuss Republic Services' partnership with the Famicos Foundation in restoring St. Mark's Presbyterian Church into St Marks Family Center. We are so grateful to Republic Services for their partnership!
