Miami University Social Work Program, Oxford OH

09/06/2026

Since the beginning of August, Deb Wells, a social worker with Access Counseling Services, has been at the Oxford Lane Library every Monday afternoon, where she offers help to those in need.

“I’m available for anybody that needs anything from a dry pair of socks to filling out applications for food stamps to buying a birth certificate,” Wells said. “Really, whatever people need, that’s what I’m here for.”

Wells’ services are part of an outreach pilot program that’s funded by the OneOhio Recovery Foundation.

We’re here to serve you this week, but we could really use help with two things!

🚗 We need one more delivery driver for Monday afternoon! If you have a little time to help us get groceries to a neighbor who can’t make it to the Market, sign up at topss.org/volunteer.

🥫 We need FOOD! We can put just about anything you bring us to good use. This week we're looking for mac & cheese, pasta, and tuna.

🛒 Our schedule is the usual this week:
Monday, Tuesday & Thursday: 10 am–6 pm
Friday & Saturday: 10 am–3 pm
Wednesday: CLOSED

Remember, the Market is open whenever we are! You don’t need an appointment or ID to receive food.

❤️ And welcome back, Miami students! We’re happy to have you back in Oxford and hope you have a great start to the semester! If you're looking for something to do or a place to get connected, sign up for a volunteer shift!

Have a great week, everyone! 😎

It’s Sunday, so you know what that means... time for your TOPSS Weekly Lineup! 💚

Here’s what’s happening this week:

📋 JFS is on the TOPSS campus this week! They’re pretty booked up this time around, so if you need help from JFS, call us at 513-523-5859 to schedule an appointment for the next time they’re here.

🍽️ Wednesday Night Community Dinner is at St. Mary’s Church this week! Dinner starts at 5:30 pm and, as always, it’s FREE and open to everyone. No strings attached. Just come eat!

🥫 We could use a little help keeping the Market stocked. This week, we especially need:
• Hamburger Helper
• Knorr Sides
• Canned vegetables like green beans and corn

If you’re able to grab a few extras while you’re shopping, we’d greatly appreciate it. And remember, we can put just about any food you bring us to good use!

🎒 And just like that... it’s back-to-school week! Wishing everyone a great first day and a great start to the school year! 😄

Have a great week, everyone! 💚

Happy Sunday! We hope you had a good weekend. We’re excited about the week ahead!

You do not need an appointment or ID to receive food. Please come see us if you need it!

We’re working to stock our shelves and are running especially low on canned vegetables, dinner mixes and sides, and soups. However, anything you bring us can be put to good use! We also accept fresh produce from your garden, hygiene products, baby items, and pet food. We appreciate every donation!

🍽️ This week’s free Wednesday night meal will be at the Lutheran church on Campus Avenue. All are welcome!

🎒 The Kiwanis Back to School Bash is next Sunday, August 16, at 5:30 p.m. at Oxford Community Park! There will be food, fun, and everything students need to head back to school. Come out and tell your friends!

Last but not least, we are only 9 followers away from reaching 2k! 🥳 We can't thank you enough for sharing our page and inviting folks 🙏 But now really twist someone's arm to follow us this week so we can stop asking 😅😆 Thanks everyone!



Have a great week! ❤️

🥛 Help keep fresh milk in the TOPSS Market!

When I first started working at TOPSS, I went to the grocery store every day we were open to buy milk for our shoppers. At the time, we served about 15 households a day, so that was manageable.

Today, we may serve 50 to 60 households in a single day. In fact, 65 households shopped in the TOPSS Market this past Saturday, and we served more than 90 households when our other services were included. My car has officially been relieved of milk duty😅 Now we get fresh milk delivered every Thursday.

For a family, a carton of milk means cereal before school, an ingredient needed to prepare a meal, and important nutrition for growing children. We want our neighbors to receive fresh milk with enough shelf life to actually use it.

Providing fresh milk costs TOPSS approximately $27,300 each year. That is why we are launching the Fresh Milk Club.

We are looking for caring people who will make a recurring monthly gift to help keep our cooler stocked all year long. Your gift does not have to be large. When our community gives together, even small monthly donations become a dependable supply of fresh milk for local families.

If you have been waiting for the right reason to begin supporting TOPSS, this is it!
