Founded in August of 2014 by Ripcho Studio as a means to distribute clothes left in the lost and founds of the schools they photograph. Today, Needs Cleveland partners with Bishop William M. Cosgrove Center to meet the needs of the community. Donations to Needs Cleveland come from the community at large and the generous support of individual sponsors.

All donations go directly to those in need across the Greater Cleveland Community. We have no paid employees and expenses are paid by donation. In 2015 Needs Cleveland won Scene Magazines Best of Cleveland award!

Needs Cleveland is proud to name the support of such agencies as Cuyahoga County Board of Adult Disabilities, Maximus, Court Community Services, BVU – Center for Non-Profit Excellence, Greater Cleveland Volunteers, Edna House, St. Ignatius High School Sophomore Service, and Rocky River High School Key Club just to name a few.

"The Purpose of Needs Cleveland is to coordinate the distribution of donated clothing and household goods to those in need in the community.”
