The Cincinnati Post - Big donors bail out local charities

The Cincinnati Post - Big donors bail out local charities: "he state of charitable giving locally was summed up Tuesday in a cluttered room at Senior Services of Northern Kentucky in Covington, where boxes were stacked high in the afternoon sunlight.

Blankets. Pet food. Deodorant. Toothbrushes. Cans of soup.

The dozens of boxes, a recent gift from Fidelity Investments and its employees, helped Senior Services overcome a year's trend in which many individuals directed their contributions to other relief efforts.

In short, the big donors helped bail out the small donors locally."
