This week, our founder spoke out about the recent budget cuts impacting Kentucky’s foster care system.

These cuts will directly affect foster youth across our Commonwealth and the families who open their homes to care for them. At a time when so many children already face uncertainty, now is not the time to reduce support and resources for the very programs designed to protect and uplift them.

This is more than a budget issue, it’s about real children, real families, and real futures. Kentucky’s foster youth deserve stability, support, and leaders willing to fight for them. We urge our state and federal legislators to act now before more young people fall through the cracks.

We recently dropped off cooking supplies to The Scholar House, a residential campus that provides affordable housing and on-site support services for single parents pursuing full-time higher education.

Through community donations, we’re able to support single-parent families by helping meet everyday needs and reinforcing our mission to uplift and strengthen families right here in our community.
