The Independence Volunteer Corps is leading a month-long donation drive to benefit the Welcome House, an emergency shelter and service provider with several facilities in Covington.
Anyone from the community can drop requested donation items into the marked barrel at the Independence City Building, seven days a week, 24 hours a day all throughout the month of February. The city building is located on Madison Pike.
Requested items include the following:
- Non-perishable snacks and drinks
- Small, travel-size hygiene items like toothpaste, bars of soap, deodorant and similar items
- Cleaning supplies like dish soap, laundry detergent, bleach, dryer sheets and similar items
All donations will supply residents and programs at one of Welcome House’s locations.
Founded in the early 1980s, Welcome House provides emergency sheltering services to help people escape poverty. These services include rapid-rehousing services and other emergency housing programs. Visit its website for more information.
The Independence Volunteer Corps is a team of local Independence residents who perform various philanthropic deeds around Northern Kentucky. Visit the city’s website to learn more about them and sign up to volunteer.
