Our Mission
Lilley Services Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit making life easier for Cincinnati's most vulnerable neighbors — individuals experiencing homelessness, low-income families, single parents, seniors, and people living with HIV. We provide free rides to grocery stores, doctor visits, food banks, and pharmacies; distribute food, clothing, and essential household items; and run overnight outreach downtown when other services are closed. No one should face hardship alone — and no one is forgotten.
What We Do
OVERNIGHT OUTREACH: Every night, our team is downtown distributing food, water, blankets, socks, and hot drinks — showing up in the hours when other services are closed. We also pick up trash along the way, leaving the streets cleaner than we found them.
FREE RIDES: Safe, free transportation to grocery stores, doctor appointments, food banks, and pharmacies for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families who have no other way to get there.
FOOD & CLOTHING: Bag lunches, bottled water, and seasonal clothing handed directly to people experiencing homelessness — with winter essentials like jackets, hoodies, socks, and blankets when the cold hits hardest.
HOUSEHOLD ESSENTIALS: Toiletries, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and basic home goods that help families stay safe, clean, and stable.
BRANDED CLOTHING — FREE ON THE STREET: Every item of clothing we buy for outreach carries LilleyServices.com and our motto, 'People are how things get done' — screen printed to last. Neighbors pick their size and take it free: no sign-ups, no conditions. Donated clothing is always handed out exactly as it was given.
OUR PROGRAMS
OVERNIGHT OUTREACH: Nightly downtown Cincinnati outreach with food, water, blankets, socks, and hot drinks. No one forgotten.
WELCOME HOME KITS: When a family leaves shelter for a home of their own, we deliver a home-basics kit, a first pantry box, and a move-in crew within 48 hours of lease signing.
NIGHTTIME SUPPORT PROGRAM: Partnering with downtown businesses and churches to keep overnight hours covered for neighbors outside.
BRANDED CLOTHING: New branded clothing handed out on outreach nights: LilleyServices.com on the front, "People are how things get done" on the back.
NIGHTTIME SUPPORT PROGRAM: For downtown businesses, hotels, and churches: scheduled overnight cleaning, a safety presence, and full nightly coverage from the team already on these streets after dark. Plans from $250/month. serviceslilley@gmail.com · (513) 706-1847

VOLUNTEER — Join us on an overnight outreach run. Bring hands, heart, and comfortable shoes — we'll handle the rest. PARTNER — Local business? Donate overstock, sponsor a night of outreach, or host a supply drive. You'll get a tax receipt and a real story to tell.
Cans for Change
Our newest way to turn everyday waste into overnight outreach. Partner bars and stores save their aluminum cans in a Cans for Change bin. We collect them on a regular schedule and recycle them locally — and every dollar buys food, water, socks, underwear, and essentials for the roughly 150 neighbors we serve each month.
For businesses: hosting is free and effortless. We provide the bin, bags, and scheduled pickups, and you get a Proud Partner card for your window. No contract — quit anytime.
