The second round of grants provided by the Central Kentucky Cares Fund have been sent out, with 8 non-profit organizations receiving a combined 19 thousand dollars. The fund, established last year in response to the pandemic, uses the grants to help those struggling with rent or utility payments, something Central Kentucky Community Foundation President/CEO Davette Swinney says they knew would likely have to be used again.
Some of the organizations included in the second round of grants include Helping Hand of Hope, St. Vincent de Paul Outreach ministries, and the Central Kentucky Community Action Council.
