Local group helps homeless population during summer heat
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Bowling Green Neighbors Aid Network continues to play a pivotal role in supporting the community.
Despite being a relatively young nonprofit, BG Neighbors has already made a big impact providing critical aid to the homeless and those in need.
The organization has put together many warming shelters during the winter. BG Neighbors hosts weekly outreach programs, like giving out necessities and free services. Now, with summer temperatures rising, the nonprofit is asking for community support through donations. Leaders say at the heart of their mission is a simple idea: neighbors helping neighbors.
Hugh Trimble, outreach specialist with BG Neighbors, says they would like to, “remind the city that we are all part of this community.”
Through doing this community outreach work, he hopes that we will remember that we’re “all neighbors and we need to treat each other accordingly.”
The organization is asking for a list of donation items which include:
- Deodorant
- Sunscreen
- Water
- Socks/underwear
- Wipes
- Band-Aids
- Menstrual products
