Small but mighty! That’s one way to describe . We never set out to be the biggest, but we did want to be one of the best! That reputation has built solidly (over the last almost 11 years! 😅).

In addition to community engagement, employment services, person-centered planning through the Liberty Plan, independent housing resources, clinical mental health services, parent supports and more, we are now pleased to introduce our Little Pantry! Executive Director, Rachael Lanter says, “We want this to be a permanent resource, just anything we can do to help support our folks.” Beginning next year we will also have a small clothes closet for interview and job wear. Stay tuned and send us a DM if you have a need for some non-perishable food before the holiday.

And, a huge thanks to all who donated to our over the last 2 months. In addition to building our own small food bank, we donated $750 (to make 4,500 meals) to in Central KY.
