2009 Channel 9 Fan Drive Meets Goal

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP), in cooperation with WCPO-TV Channel 9, Huntington Bank, Coney Island, USA Collision Centers and Cincinnati Firefighters Union Local 48, with help from the community collected nearly 600 fans and air conditioners to help our local neighbors in need this summer. All of the collected fans and a/c's have been distributed to our local neighbors in need, however we still need the community's support to provide proper cooling to the over 100 clients still on our waiting list.

Monetary donations or donations of NEW fans and a/c's are being sought. Monetary donations can be mailed to St. Vincent de Paul, 1125 Bank St., 45214 or online click here to donate. Fans or a/c's can be dropped of at any SVDP thrift stores locations in Hamilton County Click here for store locations.
