Our Closet In Your Neighborhood

Meet Ray Smith, OCIYN’s new Program Manager!

A Philly native, Ray first connected with OCIYN as a volunteer before officially joining our team four months ago. With a background in fitness industry management, he brings strong leadership, positive energy, and a commitment to helping others thrive. Outside of work, Ray is an artist at heart. He loves painting and expressing his creativity through art.

What inspires him most about OCIYN? “Having the opportunity to serve those in need.”

We’re thrilled to have Ray on the team! Please join us in giving him a warm welcome!

Calling volunteers of all ages – we need your help! We received an incredible 15,744 pounds of clothing discarded from runners at the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run!
Join us June 16 10am-12pm at the OCIYN Warehouse to sort through this amazing but LARGE pile of donations so that these items can be made available to community members in need at our free pop-up shops.
Sign up today at: jfcsphilly.link/OCIYN-Volunteer
And a special thank you to our partners at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation for collecting these donations so they don’t go to waste.
