Hocking Hills ​Gives Back


Let’s Make a Difference ​TOGETHER!


What makes a community truly beautiful ​is more than rolling hills, scenic vistas ​and gushing waterfalls; it’s a spirit of ​giving back and helping one another. ​Our mission is to build a community of ​hosts and business owners dedicated to ​making a difference, transforming each ​stay and purchase into an opportunity ​for a positive impact.

Testimonials

“I’m so grateful for the Hocking Hills Gives Back in July campaign's support for the SE ​Ohio Foodbank! It has been incredible to connect with so many local businesses and ​see how much they care for our community and the needs of those facing hunger. ​Funds raised through the campaign have provided the equivalent of 10,000 meals ​and counting. In addition to providing financial support, it has raised awareness about ​our mission to end hunger in southeast Ohio. New individuals and organizations have ​joined us to create a lifeline for people in need. It’s fantastic to see people working ​together to build a stronger community. “
