Police Chief Russell Whitman said the St. Vincent De Paul organization, located at St. Mary Catholic Church in downtown in Franklin, notified him that they would step up to assist and accept the donations for the children.
Whitman said on the department’s Facebook page that the local “SVDP assists several families with food, clothing, and auto repair in and around the Franklin area. Without volunteers like these, families would be finding themselves in worse situations than this one.”
Monetary donations can be sent by mail or dropped off at the St. Mary Catholic Church, 115 S. Main St., Franklin, Ohio, 45005. For more information, call the SVDP Help line at 937-746-1355 and leave a message.
