Kings Hammer gives back during the Holiday Season
Over the holiday season, Kings Hammer teamed up with a few local charity service organizations to provide food and toys to those in need. The U11-14 Girls Academy collected daily necessities for women and children at the Welcome House homeless shelter and dessert items for the Parish Kitchen. The U18 girls and boys Academy served food at the Ronald McDonald House of Cincinnati. The Kings Hammer Girls program collected non-perishable food items for the Ronald McDonald House of Cincinnati and the Kings Hammer Boys program donated toys to Be Concerned of Covington. It is great to see our programs giving back to those less fortunate.
