Ramp It Up For Veterans

PWC is kicking-off the agency’s 8th annual campaign on November 11th, Veterans Day, to assist low-income and/or disabled veterans throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. In the previous seven years, PWC has provided services for over 3,000 households of veterans or their surviving spouse.

​

PWC is committed to this program because the need continues to escalate with the aging demographics of the veterans throughout our local communities as evidenced below:
