I did this;

public ActionResult Index()
{
  var invoices = db.Invoices;

  var categories = db.Categories.ToList();
  ViewData["MyData"] = categories; // Send this list to the view

  return View(invoices.ToList());
}

In view:

@model IEnumerable

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Invoices";
}

@{
  var categories = (List) ViewData["MyData"]; // Cast the list
}

@foreach (var c in @categories) // Print the list
{
  @Html.Label(c.Name);
}


    ...
    @foreach (var item in Model) 
    {
      ...
    }
