Nonprofits in Kentucky

I am the regional trainer for the Dept for Community Based Services. I have had NKCAC come to staff meetings to talk to staff about the programs they provide to the public. I always tell new staff if they are looking for a resource for a family to contact NKCAC. I add that if they do not have the resource needed they will know who does or help the family locate it. I am very impressed with the services provided as well as communtiy outreach for its programs.

I sent my kids to Glen Eden when they were growing up and in their teens They had such a great time fellow shipping with other kids and the adult supervision was awesome. They came home with many friends and they both gave their hearts to The Lord. Now that they are grown they still talki of their experiences they had there and my son goes back as a counselor. This is a great place to let your kids go to have a week of fun and not have to worry about them. The Chambers family that takes care of the place are wonderful people whom I have a great respect for. I pray that God continues to let this camp carry on for many years to come to reach out to other young people that are searching for a place to find peace within.

I am a donor. When I drove up to donate, the people were very friendly and helpful. Goodwill seems to have the most locations, which makes it easy and convenient to donate items that I no longer need or use.

Christian Life Center is a great resource for downtown that is supported by the community through donations of food, items for sale in the store, financial donations, etc. When you make your donation to the CLC, in whatever form, the benefits go directly to people in our community. They may receive food, temporary emergency financial assistance with bills, medications, rent, housing, etc. The center also offers counseling and spiritual guidance. When you have items of clothing, household goods, decorative items, etc. to donate, would like to make a financial donation to a worthy cause, or can toss a couple of extra cans of food in your cart for someone in need, remember the Christian Life Center. Also, remember to put the CLC on your prayer list. And don't forget to come shop with us....right on Main Street and full of VERY AFFORDABLE surprises!!!!

God's Pantry Food Bank serves those in need by providing high quality food through its extensive distribution system. God's Pantry Improves the quality of life for thousands of Kentuckians. The extraordinary service and compassion of staff and volunteers make this an outstanding non-profit. Having served as a active volunteer for over 30 years, prior to serving on the board of God's Pantry Food Bank, I have been very impressed by this incredibly efficient and effective organization.

Thankful for the generations of faith based leaders they have turned out and looking forward to my granddaughter joining the ranks of so many great graduates.

I am a women's health care advocate who wholly supports the midwifery model of care. I am a mother to two boys. Both of my sons were born with the assistance of certified nurse-midwives. My birth experiences were natural, without intervention and provided a low-cost, high quality experience for my family. While my births were 9 & 7 years ago, I still receive care from a nurse-midwife. (You can see the amazing video of the care a Frontier Nursing University nurse-midwife provided to me during the birth of my second child at http://smilebox.com/playEmail/4f5445794e6a45324e5877784f54457a4f446b784e413d3d0d0a&sb=1)<br /><br />The care that nurse-midwives provide is woman-centered and is unparalleled. I understand the importance and urgency of improving maternal health and women health outcomes in this country. There are 49 countries in this world that have lower maternal mortality rates (Amnesty International, 2016). Nurse-midwives can help be a solution to this issue, but we must support advanced practice nursing education to help make more midwives! Therefore, I donate annually to Frontier Nursing University, a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate nurses to become competent, entrepreneurial, ethical and compassionate nurse-midwives and nurse practitioners who are leaders in the primary care of women and families with an emphasis on underserved and rural populations. Their graduates (including my nurse-midwife) are changing the face of health care by empowering women, one patient at a time.

Inter-Church Organization, dba Henry Hosea House, serves daily meals to over 5,000 people monthly and over 70,000 annually. Hosea House just celebrated their 25 year anniversary and serving over 1,000,000 meals!<br><br>In addition, Hosea House coordinates other free services such as dental and other health services. Also, they coordinate with other non-profits and government agencies to get people the help that they need to survive or to get off the streets. This includes housing, help with utility bills and helping people find jobs. <br><br>Hosea House does all this with a budget of roughly $200,000 annually, and by coordinating many non-cash donations such as food from restaurants and grocery stores. Hosea House has only 2.5 employees, the Director, a full-time cook, and a part-time administrative assistant. <br><br>Results per dollar donated, AMAZING!

I have never been to pikeville hospital before but I brought my daughter here this morning for a small procedure. I've never been treated as well at any hospital they are so kind and professional. I have crohns so I've spent a lot of time in surrounding hospitals and they don't even come close. I want to <br>Make sure everyone knows how well we were treated by the staff and dr Johnson. Thanks again for the surgery staff and reception desk

I want to be able to help others and like to be a help to others I get along with others real well.

I had lost my job at teh age of 53, working for a bank. As a older worker, no one was interested in my skills. I needed a job that would value my life skills. I found Modoc Railroad Academy and was able to receive both classrom and hand on training on the schools railroad. The staff was great. Modoc has no paid staff, the staff are all volunteers...To make a long story short, Modoc got me a railroad job as a locomotive engineer. In fact, they dud the same for eveyone in my class. The work they do is incredible.

The House of Ruth is an unprofessional and unorganized charity. If you are HIV positive or a family/friend of someone who is needing assistance, I would highly recommend you find another charity. The staff that I dealt with was unfriendly and didn't seem to know anything about HIV issues.

Planned Parenthood is the best and only place to get affordable contraception in Kentucky! They do a great job and so many of us in the restaurant industry without health care count on them.

The Benton Marshall County Humane Society is one of the best shelters in this area. This year I had an issue with a dog of mine and needed to find a home for her. She was a sweety, but my husband had decided that it was time for her to go. I called the friendly people at the Benton Marshall County Humane Society and they said to bring her over right away and that they would find her a home. I felt ok about doing this because I knew how much time they spend in promoting and trying diligently to find homes for all of their fur babies. For the next week of so I watched the site to see if they would post a picture of my dog and her new owner. Sure enough in just a few short days...the picture was posted and she now has a Furever home!!! Thank you again for all your help!!!

I have a past that includes a lot of verbal, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I have spent all of my life thinking that there was something wrong with me and going through many relationships wondering what I was doing wrong that they always ended up the same. I have been in counseling for about a year now with family services and Melanie Thompson. They have taught me what to look for in a relationship and have showed me that there is nothing wrong with me. They are teaching me how to break my own patterns and to watch for abusers patterns. I am so much happier now and I can like myself the way I am and not blame myself for others behaviors! I have so much more to learn and am thankful for the services Melanie and Family Services provide to me!!!

This is a wonderful museum truly the best mineral museum I have ever been too. I highly recommend it to anyone who is traveling in Western Kentucky.
