HARMONY PROJECT PRODUCTIONS INC

Community service: service is at the heart of harmony project's mission. Each season, all participants commit to completing a minimum of 16 hours of volunteer community service, either through projects organized by harmony project or through projects and opportunities facilitated by partnering community organizations. Empowering communities through the arts: our partnership with goodwill columbus continues to shine a light on members of our community who were once in the shadows. Through our community arts programs, participants who have faced barriers due to disabilities are stepping into the spotlight, demonstrating their talents, and finding new opportunities for social engagement and self-expression. The group staged three performances in 2024, which featured original songs, poetry, and artwork by people with disabilities, highlighting the transformative power of inclusive arts programming. The program has grown from 60 to 150 participants over the past two years. Service and community impact: harmony center has become a vital community hub, connecting neighbors with essential resources and hosting a free community closet for northland residents, staffed by harmony volunteers. It also provides low- or no-cost space for nonprofit arts organizations to rehearse and perform. Through harmony's service initiatives, hundreds of volunteers revitalized columbus neighborhoods, led the cleaner columbus effort, restored a playground at devonshire elementary, and distributed food to thousands of families. Harmony also hosted adaptive sports connection's bikes to go program, where volunteers built specialized bikes for children with special needs, fostering mobility, independence, and joy. At harmony, the arts and service go hand in hand, driving meaningful change across columbus. A season of giving - thanksgiving meal partnership: for those who are incarcerated and those celebrating their first thanksgiving post-release, the holiday can be a difficult time. Harmony partnered with hubbard grille and mezzo dublin to provide meals, ensuring that these individuals feel seen and supported. The thanksgiving meal initiative is more than just a meal-it's a message that they are not forgotten and that they are part of a community that cares. In 2024, harmony served over 400.
