Louisville Nonprofits and Charities

I have volunteered with KY Harvest for 3 years. Being a busy working parent, I appreciate the flexibility in how I can help. Some months I have done weekly rescues, while others maybe only one. The work that they are doing in our community is NEEDED and amazing. It truly makes a difference. If you have time to help rescue food, even just once a month, please call or sign up on the app. It's so easy!

I have been blessed with this nonprofit since 2003 and currently they still assist me in my growth today by telling my story and helping others. The growth of this place is unreal and the amount of care and support they put in for their victims and families makes such a difference. 20 years ago I had to tell my story multiple times to many different people in not the most beautiful space. Today the victims walk into a beautiful facility with amazing art, unreal support and they get to tell their story once. That is a win to me. This nonprofit is why I’m still here today and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I’m truly blessed for the Family and childrens place.

I've been attending Recovery/Uplift meetings for nearly five years and wish I had discovered this place sooner. The knowledge I've gained and discussions I've had with other members have been hugely beneficial to my mental health, and compliment the work I do with my therapist quite well.

I believed in this club and trusted them with my son’s development. As one of the few minorities on the team, we initially felt comfortable until it became clear there was a clear divide between equality. The Red teams are B teams used for financial gain that will only benefit the Black team, aka the A team. On the red team, you will not receive the same attention, development, or opportunities available to the black team all while paying the same cost. Depending on who you are your concerns may be addressed or you will be rudely dismissed by coaching staff. The MLS program will be used as an incentive to keep you, despite none of the players from my child’s team being ultimately selected. Should you try to leave for the betterment of your child they will attempt to blacklist you, or ban your child from practices with other teams. We are talking about children here, not professional adults. Bad behavior runs amuck from child to parent so be warned. The integrity that once guided this club to greatness has been long lost and ultimately succumbed to great along with ego. Do not bring your child here.

Sandy G. Lifelong Friend KHS<br><br>Why Kentucky Humane Society is the best!<br><br>It’s the state’s largest no-kill and adoption facility. They partner with nine of the locally owned Feeder’s Supply stores to provide additional adoption sites. KHS has provided over twenty years of adoption services. In 2017 over 6,100 dogs and cats were adopted and 9,500 dogs and cats were spayed or neutered. They truly are stewards to the animal community in helping reduce overpopulation.<br><br><br>Many volunteer options are available to persons of all ages. There are also Summer Camp offerings. Birthday parties can be arranged with children usually bringing their gifts for the animals! <br><br><br>I am a Lifelong Friend of KHS who has been adopting since 1968. My son and I currently have two awesome dogs, Stella and Scout.<br><br>All these things are possible through generous friends allowing KHS to continue their lifesaving mission.<br><br>Come be a part of the JOY of giving a voice to these innocent animals who have no voice.

Louisville third century is probably one of the most carring non profit Louisville has to offer. They really do a lot for our community. And bring so much diverse culture. A truly amazing foundation.

Interlink Counseling Services is a homeless veterans rehabilitation center. My husband came here in 2007. His addiction was crack cocaine. At Interlink he got the education, counseling and structure and the acknowledgement of God's strength. He is a new man now for over 7 years. I pray everyday for God's wisdom in this program because the veteran's need this to help find themselves and learn how to deal with life passed addiction, depression, anger and so on. If you know someone who needs this help, Interlink Counseling is waiting to help. No fingers pointed, just helping them look ahead to a future to once again be productive citizens, good fathers, good husbands and the man God has made them to be. Thanks, Interlink.

This is the Happy church the most realist and true everybody can relate you will gain knowledge every time. I love what they are doing with CODE GREEN and bringing UNITY back in the comUNITY!!!!!

The HUGE hand-up in life School Choice Scholarships has helped my daughter with has been indeed life-changing, on so many amazing levels. Their help and guidance to scholarship recipients & families in search of having ~ An Actual Choice ~ in their child's educational path in life is beyond invaluable. <br> <br>I will be forever grateful to all this organization has blessed my daughter with. You have given her opportunities she would have never experienced had it not been for your hand up in life. I call Choice "Angels of Education", not only for all they have helped my child, but the all future leaders of our society. (sidenote: you might be interested to know as I type this the recipient of your help is singing "We Are The Champions" in the background:) <br> <br>You are priceless!! Thank-you!!! <br> <br>— Melody Rogers, School Choice Parent & Huge Advocate

This nonprofit University is dedicated to developing outstanding graduates. Although it is based in St. Louis, it has campuses worldwide. Its extended campus network extends throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, and from Washington DC to Los Angeles. A majority of Webster University students are in its extended graduate programs. My experience has been that it has excellent faculty (most are practicing professionals in the field in which they teach), a solid administration, and an adult student body that is exceptional. In Louisville, graduate students work as teams with other nonprofits and small businesses to improve their capabilities. Throughout my experiences with them, they have always focused on helping students excel. This is an organization that deserves my support.

The Council has been advocating for people with intellectual disabilities, autism, down syndrome, etc. for many decades. It has credibility and is unafraid to tackle difficult, long term systems change challenges. I have great respect for this organization. They help hold governments accountable and were instrumental in pushing for dramatic increases in funding to provide Medicaid and other supports to people in need. <br>

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.

Our Catholic faith calls us to find Christ by reaching out generously to those in need. SVDP has given me the ability to do just that. We meet people where they are, some hungry, some homeless, some fighting drug and alcohol addiction. We offer them care and compassion, hoping to communicate that they are not walking alone, seeking to guide them on the path to sustained independence. Our expertise is in case management, offering not only resources but also encouragement to the clients. Hopefully, as we seek to see Christ in them, they will also see Christ in us.

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.

Stage One Family Theatre is awesome entertainment and a great value. The shows are affordable, but the greatest value is the work it does to introduce theatre to young audiences and energize that next generation of art consumers. Through visionary leadership Stage One Family Theatre has transformed its business model to attract more community support and provide FREE TICKETS to classrooms of students (K-6th grade) in a 21 county area. I've served on the board in a variety of capacities for the last 6 years. It's an organization that continues to evolve with the times and make me proud.

We have been doing mission trips since 1999, setting up clinics in local churches and prisons in Central America for a week at a time. <br> <br>We will commonly take $50,000 to $100,000 worth of medicines with us each trip along with 100's of pairs of glasses, Doctors Nurses, a pharmacist and an optometrist. <br> <br>We always hire a local physician to work in the clinic with us so patients that require ongoing treatment have a resource for treatment once we leave. <br> <br>For the week before we arrive a local church will give out tickets in their community to be seen in the clinic. This assures we will be able to treat the maximum number of patients (although we have never turned anyone away). It is not uncommon for us to treat 1000 people during the clinic. <br> <br>While patients are waiting to be seen, others entertain the children, present the gospel to the adults and are introduced to local pastors working with us. Our host missionaries operate a feeding center and have access to school supplies, toiletries and other staples useful to many of the very poor. <br> <br>When we leave, any supplies and medicines left over are left with the local doctor to help with ongoing needs. <br> <br>Consider signing up to go with us as well as making a donation. We need help of all kinds and it will be a great blessing to you as well. Visit our website and drop us an email. We'd love to talk to you. <br> <br> <br>

I think that Team Expansion is a wonderful Mission Organization. It is clear to see their dedication to the cause for which they labor. Team Expansion is taking mission to new places. I totally support their vision for missions and for the planting of churches where they do not know of Christ.

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.

KRM is a nice resettlement agency in Kentucky. It's too bad that often they only take those whose English skills are better than others.
