Good morning, Hocking County. Zaleski Village is seeking a new council member faster than you can say "local government vacancy." After a health-related resignation, officials are inviting residents to submit their letters of interest before April 14th—just drop them in the water bill box or mail them in. But there's a catch: you must live within village limits to serve your community in this role.
Meanwhile, the Logan-Holl Foundation is making it rain in the best possible way, distributing $32,000 across 12 local organizations from food pantries to fire departments. And as April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month, it's worth noting the vital 24/7 support services available through Ohio University's Survivor Advocacy Program and the regional Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program—resources that provide everything from crisis intervention to long-term recovery support for survivors throughout Southeast Ohio.

🏛️ Zaleski Village Council needs a new member immediately. Following a health-related resignation, the Ohio village is accepting letters of intent from residents interested in filling the vacant seat. Interested individuals can submit their letters by dropping them in the water bill box at the utility office or mailing them to the Village of Zaleski. All submissions should be received before the next Council meeting on Monday, April 14. This opportunity is only available to those living within village limits.
💰 Logan-Holl Foundation pours $32,000 into Hocking County communities. The fund awarded 12 grants supporting essential services from food pantries to domestic violence survivors throughout Logan and Hocking County. Recipients include First Presbyterian Church's food pantry, FosterHub's youth housing program, and the Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department's medic equipment. Established by industrialist Barton A. Holl in 1968, the foundation continues his legacy of community investment through the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. The next grant opportunity will open in early 2026.
🛡️ Sexual assault hotlines offer 24/7 support across Southeast Ohio. April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, highlighting the prevalence of sexual violence that affects 81% of women and 43% of men. Ohio University's Survivor Advocacy Program provides confidential services to students, while the Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program extends support across nine counties with crisis intervention, affordable housing, and therapy. Both organizations collaborate to ensure survivors receive comprehensive resources, from emergency assistance to long-term recovery support, while also working on prevention through community education and training.
