The Toledo Branch of the NAACP believes that social change cannot happen without first developing a strong community that is able to understand and value diversity. Our branch makes a concerted effort to remove social economic barriers for under-served and underprivileged communities by developing programs and presenting residents with opportunities that reduce poverty, injustice and cultural discrimination. The Toledo Branch of the NAACP is determined to ensure the political, education, and social and economic quality of life for all persons. We aim to eliminate racial hatred and discrimination. Our programs are open and free to all community residents.
