Student interns at the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky are helping our guests register to vote! Many of our guests need to update their address, or are even voting for the first time. Guests who access overnight or shower and laundry services at ESNKY can use our street address to receive mail, find gainful employment, search for housing, and even vote! This interim housing model allows our guests to participate fully in community life with dignity.
This is also your reminder to make sure that you are registered!! You can register to vote, update your address, or check your registration at GoVote.KY.gov. The deadline to register for the May 17 election is on April 22.

⭐ Thank you Lydia for coordinating a SUPER successful donation drive in Grant County! As a freshman in high school, Lydia gathered support from her family, church, friends, and school to collect important items for ESNKY to provide to our guests. Her favorite thing to collect was hot chocolate. Why? She loves hot chocolate and wants others to have access to a treat.
⭐ Great job Lydia - we appreciate your support!!

Thank you to the Rummel family for making and packing meals for our guests, and for the sweet notes included in each bag.

We're all looking up at the same sky today, experiencing one of nature's great wonders. All of us, people who are housed and people who are unhoused.

To keep adults experiencing homelessness safe during the expected extreme weather, we have expanded our daytime & overnight occupancy by utilizing our Navigation & Engagement Center space. Even though the Winter Cold Shelter program ended yesterday, women are also welcome to shelter tonight. We are concerned about folks being outside with nowhere to go, and that uncertainty is unsafe. What we can be certain of is that we can open our doors to adults who are sleeping in their cars or outside.
We do not want to take a chance on the loss of life.
You can help us sustain our Life Saving, Life Changing services during this storm by making a donation at emergencyshelternky.org/help-out/
