Trail of Hope Regional Network’s Build A Bed program has been busy already making sure 68 children have a bed. We are working on sponsorships to purchase bed frames, mattresses, bedding, and pillows. We are looking for baby cribs and toddler beds in good condition. Please let us know if you are interested in supporting this program.

We are super excited to add Spencer County, Bardstown City Schools, Meade County and Larue County to the PEM program in July. Parent Engagement Meeting Program is helping to prevent truancy in Elizabethtown City Elementary schools, and Hardin County Elementary schools. We just finished a very successful year serving 221 families and 281 children in the PEM program.

CCC In-home program is busy with completing home visits and helping families with community resources. We are always taking new referrals. If you have any questions, please reach out to us. Be safe and have a wonderful summer.
