Portage Lakes Parish Neighbors

Portage Lakes Parish Neighbors, situated at 2989 S Main St., Akron, Ohio, embodies the Catholic values of love, service, and community. Guided by the Gospel's teachings to 'serve the least of these,' this organization brings together individuals, volunteers, and local businesses to provide essential support to those in need within the Portage Lakes region. Through its outreach efforts, amplified by the Portage Lakes Parish Neighbors Magazine, a faith-based publication produced by Decided Excellence Catholic Media, the organization shares stories of hope and inspiration with thousands of Catholic households each month. In collaboration with the nearby St. Francis de Sales Parish, which offers sacramental life, catechesis, and spiritual guidance, Portage Lakes Parish Neighbors reinforces the Church's mission of charity, solidarity, and evangelization. As a beacon of hope and Christian love in Akron, this community-driven initiative invites all to grow in faith while serving others, fulfilling the Catholic call to love one's neighbor.
