Since 2022
Who We Are
Families & Friends Network of Greater Columbus
(FFN-GC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed in 2022. It evolved from an informal and active family and friends association called FFN/On My Own which shared the same priorities. The mission of FFN-GC is to promote independent living by providing support services to adults with mild developmental and intellectual disabilities and to individuals on the autism spectrum.
We support these individuals and their families and friends through social, educational and recreational programs and in-home services.
What We Do
Each month FFN-GC, in collaboration with community resources, provides activities, classes and recreational opportunities for its members.
