Love the Hungry

Love the Hungry, formerly known as Kids Against Hunger, brings nourishment and hope to children and families throughout the world and in Kentuckiana. 

     Located off of Poplar Level Road, volunteers of all ages assist in packaging the Nutri-Plenty™ Meal, a scientifically-proven blend of 21 vitamins and minerals shown to reverse the effects of micronutrient malnutrition in young children. 

I was pleased to take part in measuring and packing food for this worthy organization.

Jim King Trail Dedication

On Friday, February 26 at 3:00 p.m., Councilman Mulvihill will be dedicating the walking path that leads from Schuff Ln. to the back of the Zoo as the Jim King Trail.  The naming of this trail serves two purposes.  First, this trail was a personal pet project of his and would not have been completed without his influence; and secondly, giving the path a name and having it marked with a sign will allow police to find the area quickly and respond to emergencies.  Please join us if you can. 

 

We will gather at the location marked below by the orange circle/black diamond on Schuff Ln., just west of Sylvan Way.

Louisville Metro Government will begin accepting External Agency Fund applications on Thursday, February 25, 2016 for FY17 (July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017). These General Funded grants are awarded to non-governmental, or "external” agencies, that contribute to the city's cultural, social and economic vitality. 

All agencies wishing to submit an application are required to have at least one representative participate in a mandatory orientation webinar.  There will be a live webinar held on Feb. 25 at 10:30 a.m. The session is approximately 90 minutes and will cover eligibility, the application process, and provide instructions for the on-line application. Interested applicants who are unable to participate at this time should contact the EAF team to make alternative arrangements.
