Community Fund
It has always been our goal at DEPs to give back to the community who loyally supports our business. To achieve this goal we created the DEPs Community Fund.
Our Mission
“Offering a helping hand to those organizations doing good on both sides of the river. Raising the spirits and in turn raising funds for Greater Cincinnati.”
History
We’ve spent all our lives in the Greater Cincinnati area and we’ve been a family owned and operated business for 28 years in Northern Kentucky. With the addition of our fifth store in 2005, we consolidated our charitable giving and established the Community Fund. The goal was to amplify our giving and to make a large difference in our community. Our target is to build the fund to $1,000,000 or more. Over the last six years we’ve made contributions to raise the total to approx $456,800 as of 1/11/17.
