About NKYHelps.org
What is NKYHelps.org?
NKYHelps.org is a one stop shop for volunteerism and donations in Northern Kentucky. We are connecting those who want to volunteer their time, money, and items with those who need them. Several weeks ago we got our first look at the site and it is amazing. It’s comprehensive, easy, and is having serious impact on the Northern Kentucky community.
NKYHelps.orgis produced in partnership with The Kentucky Enquirer, Northern Kentucky University, LEGACY, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, and Children Inc., and others as a part of Vision 2015.
Who can sign up for NKYHelps.org?
Once they register, anyone can volunteer their time or donate goods or services.
Organizations must register and be approved before they can post volunteer opportunities. Only non-profits, schools, churches, and government agencies can become registered organizations. If you are unsure, register, and we will check out your credentials for you.
