The 174th St. Joe's Picnic for the Kids, presented by Arby's Foundation, is August 11-12 and we need YOUR help to make it another successful year!
Over 50,000 people will gather together Picnic weekend for food, fun and games - all to support the nearly 1,500 children and family members served by St. Joe's throughout the year.
It takes hundreds of volunteers to make Picnic for the Kids a success and we are so grateful for the time and talent each of our volunteers share - will you be part of the volunteer team supporting our St. Joe's kids?
Individuals and groups are needed in the weeks leading up to Picnic and during Picnic weekend. Volunteers help set-up, run booths, and clean up. If you are able to help for a few hours please contact Pam at pam@sjkids.org today!

It’s time again for the free, 4-week, citywide Anti Racism Challenge, sponsored by listenlearnact.org, Metro Lean Into Louisville, and the Earth and Spirit Center. It begins July 1st.
This is how it works -- each week during July, participants will receive an email with a list of 10-12 anti-racism activities. These range from reading an article, calling an elected official, making a donation, watching a film or viewing an exhibit by Black artists, patronizing a Black business, etc. We ask participants to choose and complete 3 of the listed activities. The purpose is to keep us all focused and active in challenging racism in our daily lives. This is a personal Challenge -- no one needs to report back to us. If participants are interested, they simply provide their email address (we never share anyone's information) and that puts them on the list to receive our ARC email each week. Here is the link to sign up: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/gYgTGac/listenlearnact
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises of an extended closure of Bridge #2 over the Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek (mile point 1.796) in Cherokee Park, located in Jefferson County.
Original plans included repairs to the bridge deck and rails, and improvements to the balustrades and toe walls. Contract crews performing the work identified additional deterioration underneath the deck surface that was visually obstructed before work began, prompting the need to fully replace the bridge. Work will resume once a redesign is finalized and permitting is approved. The anticipated completion date of this project is set for late 2023.
KYTC is coordinating the bridge project with Louisville Parks and Recreation and Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Visit goky.ky.gov for the latest in traffic and travel information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You can also get traffic information for the District 5 counties at facebook.com/KYTCDistrict5 and twitter.com/KYTCDistrict5.
TARC has an exciting update to the 2023 Summer Youth Pass! Thanks to a new partnership with Mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville Metro, youth – and one accompanying adult legal guardian – will now be able to ride transit without cost through August 31. The pass will achieve a top Greenberg administration and TARC priority – helping transit-reliant families access summer activities. To learn more, please visit our website.
