Maximus Employee Volunteers Help Feed the Cleveland, Ohio Community
During National Volunteer Month, our Maximus Ohio Work Experience Program team fed Cleveland and Cuyahoga County community members through two employee-driven initiatives.
First up was a grab-and-go lunch distribution. Our team made sandwiches and assembled bag lunches and then shared them with visitors to the Cuyahoga County Job and Family Services office. Within an hour, all 100 lunches were shared!
Career Mentor Supervisor Darryl Hill shared, 'It was a special sight to experience the gratitude expressed by those who received a lunch and to see my teammates in service to our community. And guess what? We're not done!'
The Maximus team's next stop was the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, a Maximus Foundation grantee that serves more than 424,000 people annually. The area's need for nutritious food remains high, and our employees were ready to volunteer.
At the Maximus Ohio Work Experience Program, we proudly partner with Cuyahoga Job and Family Services to provide employment and training services that help community members reach new heights through long-term employment.
Our team is known for its dedication to helping people on their paths to self-sufficiency and giving back to the community. This time last year, they gathered at the Cleveland Kids Book Bank to sort 300 books for libraries and childcare centers that serve local children in need.
Since 1995, Maximus has remained committed to improving the lives of Ohioans who engage with federal, state, and local government programs. To learn more about how Maximus supports the communities where we work, visit maximus.com/corporate-responsibility.

‘Leave fawns alone': Ohio Division of Wildlife issues another alert
**Related Video Above: Ohio troopers rescue baby deer from side of busy highway (Credit: Ohio State Highway Patrol) CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Ohio Division of Wildlife is continuing to ask people to go against their instinct and leave baby deer in place should they come upon any that appear abandoned. 'You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen 'Please leave fawns alone,' the Division of Wildlife wrote in a Facebook post Monday, along with a photo similar to the one below: 'This is completely normal behavior for a deer fawn, and human intervention is unnecessary,' the division said in the post. This was a reiteration of a post from earlier this spring urging Ohioans to leave the little deer in peace. Rescue photos: Deer gets stuck on rocks behind Rock Hall Mother deer reportedly do not spend a lot of time with their nearly scentless offspring in order to keep fawns safe from predators. Often in cities, that means fawns appear to be left behind near people's homes and gardens, but their mothers will visit multiple times a day. If you believe a fawn has actually been abandoned or is in danger, reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Son of New Albany church leaders pleads not guilty to new rape charges
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The son of a New Albany church's leaders pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to additional charges including rape, according to court documents. Gary Keesee Jr., the son of Faith Life Church senior pastors Gary and Drenda Keesee, pleaded not guilty to charges contained in a superseding indictment that was filed in May. He previously pleaded not guilty to the original charges in April. Watch previous coverage in the player above. Keesee Jr.'s previously issued $2 million bond with no 10% provision was continued, according to the documents. He must deposit $5,000 to the Clerk's office for a GPS monitoring device before he can leave jail, and is not allowed to have contact with the alleged victims. He must also surrender his driver's license and passport. A rare COVID-19 strain disappeared overnight. We still don't know which Ohioan had it On April 21, Keesee Jr., 36, was indicted on 11 counts of rape, 11 counts of gross sexual imposition and five counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Keesee Jr., a former member of the church staff, was arrested 10 days prior in Johnstown by deputies with the Licking County Sheriff's Office. At the time of his arrest, he was charged with two counts of rape out of Mount Vernon Municipal Court. The date range for the charges spans from 2001 to 2012 with a Licking County prosecutor saying the ages of the victims ranged from 6 to 15 at the time of the alleged offenses. The superseding indictment lists the 32 total allegations along with the following date ranges: Dates Charge (counts) Nov. 2001-May 2004 Rape (5) Nov. 2001-May 2004 Gross sexual imposition (5) Oct. 2002 – Nov. 2006 Rape (5) Oct. 2002 – Nov. 2006 Gross sexual imposition (3) Dec. 2004 – Nov. 2006 Gross sexual imposition (1) Nov. 2006 – Oct. 2008 Rape (1) Nov. 2006 – Oct. 2008 Gross sexual imposition (2) Oct. 2008 – Oct. 2011 Unlawful sexual conduct with minor (5) June 2008 – June 2012 Rape (2) June 2008 – June 2012 Gross sexual imposition (3) In February, the Knox County Sheriff's Office asked the Licking County Sheriff's Office to investigate the church for allegations of sexual abuse of minors because Drenda Keesee serves as a Knox County commissioner. Ohioans can soon buy over twice as much nonmedical marijuana Drenda Keesee has also published several books, including one titled 'They Are Coming For Your Children,' which is described as 'a wake-up call to parents and the nation to confront and combat what is nothing less than every offensive evil that hell can unleash against the children of this generation. From transgenderism, to critical race theory to sex-trafficking, satan is bent on destroying this generation because they are destined to bring in worldwide revival and usher in the return of Jesus Christ.' Keesee Jr.'s jury trial is expected to begin on July 1, according to the Knox County Clerk's office. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
