Christmas Store serves nearly 800 families
The 44th edition of Be Concerned's Christmas Store, Dec. 9-13, was one of its largest, with nearly 800 families from Kenton, Campbell and Boone counties receiving food, new toys and clothing, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and household gifts. The tradition started in 1968 when volunteers rounded up food and used toys for about 30 low-income families. Thanks to the individuals, families, churches, schools, businesses and other organization whose financial or in-kind donations made the 2011 holiday extravaganza possible.
St. E. Physicians' mega food drive benefits Be Concerned
St. Elizabeth Physicians staged one of the largest food drives for Be Concerned in the past decade. The practice's more than 50 offices across Northern Kentucky collected 4,725 lbs. of food in November and early December, much of which was used in the our 44th annual Christmas Store Dec. 9-13. Thanks to everyone at St. E. Physicians who helped to make the drive such an overwhelming success!
