The Covington Rotary Club presented NKY Harvest Grants Coordinator, Paul Gottbrath, with a check for $2,500 to help the school children of Northern Kentucky.
“We’ll be giving away 1,100 back packs to school children, Saturday, August 10th, on a first-come, first served basis,” he said. “We did it last year, again with the help of the Covington Rotary, and we’re very appreciative and happy we can do it again.”
Northern Kentucky Harvest was founded in 1999 as a nonprofit organization – they assist social service agencies – and help Northern Kentucky school children.
Northern Kentucky Harvest is located at 1100 Pike Street, Covington.
