Some partnerships go far beyond financial support — and that is certainly true of the Public Life Foundation of Owensboro.

They believed in The Center when it was nothing more than a vision on a piece of paper, and they have continued to walk alongside us every step of the way. Their encouragement, leadership, and unwavering support have helped shape who we are today and what we will become in the future.

Because of their investment in this mission, children and families in our community will experience hope, healing, and support for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and belief in the work we do every day.

After 30 years in operation investing well over $5 million into the community, the Public Life Foundation of Owensboro will be shutting down on June 30.
