NOCAC’s PATH Center is a soup kitchen/drop-in center that focuses on serving homeless persons, those with mental disabilities, or those who have food or nutritional needs – but all are welcome! A hot nutritious meal is served each weekday between 12:00 and 1:00 pm. Clients living within the Defiance city limits can get a ride to lunch but need to call by 10:00 am.
Our soup kitchen can always put donations to a good use. We are currently in need of new (or gently used) towels and canned goods that open with a pull-tab. Frequently needed items include: milk, eggs, cheese, spices, coffee, napkins, paper products, small bingo prizes and cleaning products. If you can help, please contact us at 419-782-6962.
And remember – please stop in at 1939 E. Second Street in Defiance to join us for a morning cup of coffee, a good lunch or just to enjoy the fellowship! We can’t wait to see you!!

The month of May has been designated Community Action Month in order to recognize the positive impact Community Action agencies provide for their local communities. Together, these agencies work to help thousands of families achieve self-sufficiency.
This month allows Community Action agencies the opportunity to highlight the work that they do to help struggling families reach economic stability. It also provides everyone in the community a first-hand look at poverty that exists in their own neighborhoods.
Community Action Month is a time to honor and celebrate the impact agencies have in making our communities – and our nation – stronger.
