The government may be shut down, but local community members know how to give.  The Northern Kentucky University Social Work Program hosted a shopping giveaway and lunch for the residents of the Anna Louise Inn on Saturday, October 5th, from 9:30-11:30 a.m., at the Inn.

Residents were able to collect personal care items, make-up, clothing, and purses for free.  95% of the residents at the Anna Louise Inn live on incomes below the 2012 poverty line of $11,170.

Lunch was provided by Mellow Mushroom Pizza.
