The Welcome House helps individuals and families in the Northern Kentucky area that are homeless or…read moreat risk of becoming homeless. They provide shelter, food and personal items for people in need on a daily basis. Last Christmas when my family wanted to help out with gifts for someone less fortunate, I contacted this agency and was given a list of a family's requests, which I then shopped for and delivered to Welcome House. Sometimes when I pass by this agency it seems there is often a line out front of individuals waiting for it to open. That makes me think they're doing good things to help out the less fortunate.

I'm doing a lot of painting in my home and as you know, paint can be really expensive. So I decided…read moreto come to restore to see what they had and let me tell you they had everything I needed. I bought a 5 gallon bucket of evolve Ultimate semi gloss paint for $85. It is currently $134.99 on Amazon. I also snagged a 1 gallon can of evolve Ultimate Paint and Primer for $17 and a 1 gallon can of evolve Paint and Primer in Sunbeam Yellow for $14. They are currently $35.99 and $30.99, respectively, on Amazon. What great deals! I'm so glad that I came! And, the employees are the nicest people. The manager was nice enough to wait past the closing time for me to get everything that I needed. I told her that I was just stopping in and would come back to get what I needed, but, she told me not to rush and the young lady that helped me take my supplies to my car was so sweet. The store is clean and well organized. The bathroom, which I know is a weird thing to talk about, was freshly painted and smelled really good. ;-) I'm definitely coming to this Restore again first to shop for supplies for projects. You can get what you need for a fraction of what you would pay in stores and online and the money is going towards a good cause.

Happen, Inc was sponsoring the #backtoschool #northsideschoolbackpackgiveaway just a few blocks away from my house on #hoffnerstreet. We arrived just after 10:00 am for the 10 am to 2 pm event. It wasn't busy at all. The main gate entrance to this enclosed garden that I didn't even know existed was the required flow for the parents & children coming here. #Covid19 precautions were being taken. Facemasks and social distancing was promoted. We checked in at the registration table. Emails were asked for so they could keep people informed of future events. Most of their events used to be held at their storefront on #hamiltonavenue until the #covid19 pandemic. The friendly staff directed us to walk through the garden to the next table at the back entrance. My grandson and I got a little bit off of the main path but we made it to the next table. Here my grandson was able to pick out what color backpack he wanted! Green was his choice. He was excited to look inside it and we stopped on the sidewalk just down the street. He sat down and opened it up. To my surprise it was loaded with writing pads, paper, folders, crayons, a ruler and a zippered pouch with a lot of erasers and pencils and a pencil/crayon sharpener. My grandson was so happy! He sat there on the sidewalk sharpening the pencils. I was glad to see that the backpack was made from high quality materials. After this we headed to #jacobhoffnerpark for more fun. It was a great day! Until next time stay healthy & be kind to each other. #happeninc #northside #familytime #weekendfun #grandchildren
