Great Gift: 2005 Calendar
The Welcome House of South County had published a 2005 calendar. The calendar displayed pictures of some of our community members who were gracious enough to 'pose' NUDE for us. This fundraiser won national recognition when we received the "Having Fun" Award/category of an annual event sponsored by the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The photo that was selected is of 7 members of the Women's Club of South County. These special members volunteered to pose for February’s illustration. Although out of date, these calendars are collectors item, as it was the last official photo of the great Salty Brian on the cover. Not to mention Governor Sunderland and Judge Caprio also nude.  Call us to purchase this piece of history.

Homeless Raise $5k for Katrina
The day after Katrina hit the Mississippi and New Orleans the guests of Welcome House of South County said they had to do something to help all those people who were now homeless. Within 24 hrs the guests prepared a tent, signs, informational flyers and settled in on the corner of North and Kingstown Road. For 48 hours they collected donations for the homeless in the disaster area. These currently homeless collected $5700 dollars to help rebuild the only homeless shelter in the area. (see pictures and signs; Homeless Helping Katrina Homeless.)
