501c3 Nonprofit Thrive by 5 Louisville established; Ashley Novak Butler announced as Board Chair
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 12, 2024) – Today at the University of Louisville’s Early Learning Campus, Mayor Craig Greenberg unveiled his five-year plan to create a pathway to universal pre-k. The Mayor announced that to implement the phased plan over a five-year period, Thrive by 5 Louisville, a separate 501c3 nonprofit, will be established with early learning advocate and supporter Ashley Novak Butler serving as Board Chair.
Mayor Greenberg’s plan was developed by the Mayor’s Early Learning Action Group, comprised of 23 early childhood experts and community members and led by the Mayor’s Office of Philanthropy. The group convened over a six-month period in 2023 and created the draft plan, which included the creation of Thrive by 5 Louisville as a 501c3 nonprofit to operate separately from Louisville Metro Government to administer universal pre-k for the city.
“When I took office, I promised the people of Louisville a plan to invest in our children, our workforce and our future through universal pre-k – and today we are delivering on that commitment,” said Mayor Greenberg. “This is a plan created by childhood experts that will ensure every 3- and 4-year-old in Louisville has the opportunity to access quality early learning so that they see long-term success through school and beyond. We are excited to get this program up and running because we know the benefits for our children, our economy and our future will be transformational.”
To deliver universal pre-k, Mayor Greenberg’s plan will invest in and strengthen existing early learning facilities that operate in Louisville, including private and non-profit preschools, childcare centers and family childcare homes. Thrive by 5 Louisville, which will operate separately from Louisville Metro Government, will use a combination of public and philanthropic funds to recruit and retain the early learning workforce, elevate early learning facilities and programs, and offer financial assistance to cover the cost of preschool.
Thrive by 5 Louisville will execute the following through three phases over a five-year period:
-
Phase one, years 1 - 2: Create and staff Thrive by 5 Louisville; recruit private and non-profit preschools, childcare centers and family childcare homes for pilot participation; provide funding for workforce development grants to private and non-profit preschools, childcare centers and family childcare homes for program improvements; implement facility assessment and improvement processes; establish an online resource hub; initiate marketing strategies; and fundraise.
-
Phase two, years 3 - 4: Initially launch financial assistance (paid directly to providers) for 4-year-olds from families making less than 300% of Federal Poverty Level (i.e., family income of $93,600 or less in 2024) to attend preschool.
-
Phase three, years 5+: Expand eligibility for financial assistance to more Louisville children, measure program impact, expand workforce benefits and support and continue facility assessments and quality improvement efforts. Through this approach, financial assistance for preschool will be available initially for 4-year-olds from families making less than 300% of Federal Poverty Level (i.e., family income of $93,600 or less in 2024) in year 2026. These families are located in every neighborhood across our city.
Parents and caregivers will be able to access the one-stop online resource hub to learn about eligibility for their children. The website will also ensure easy access to the many resources—education and professional development, coaching, business guidance—already available to directors and teachers at Louisville preschools, childcare centers, and family childcare homes.
Thrive by 5 Louisville’s operations will be overseen by a Board of Directors, with Ashley Novak Butler, the Executive Director of the Lift a Life Novak Family Foundation, serving as Board Chair. Butler will announce additional Board members and solicit community input to determine the qualities needed for the executive director of the organization.
“I am committed to building a collaborative organization that will strengthen Louisville’s existing early learning ecosystem and build the additional resources needed to create access to high quality learning environments for all the children of Louisville,” said Ashley Novak Butler. “Ashley is a proven leader who has delivered results time and time again when it comes to early childhood learning in Louisville,” said the Mayor. “She is a problem solver whose vast knowledge in this area, as well as in philanthropy, community partnerships and more, will make sure Thrive by 5 Louisville has the strong platform needed to launch a long-lasting, successful program for Louisville’s children.”
Universal pre-k has been a proven strategy to boost academic success in children, as well as improve workforce participation and positively impact the economy. The plan has seen widespread support from city and state leaders.

You may be familiar with the process of donating clothing and household items to a Goodwill store, but what happens next? kNOw Waste Education staff and Ambassadors recently toured Goodwill 2nd Chance Outlet at 6201 Preston Highway to find out more.
When items are received at the stores, they are sorted and rated. The things that aren’t suitable enough to be sold and items that don’t sell over a certain amount of time are delivered to the 2nd Chance Outlet. At the outlet, clothing and accessories are put out for sale on rolling “boats” and household goods are displayed on rolling shelves. This material is sold by the pound, so it’s considerably cheaper than at Goodwill stores. Shopping involves searching through piles, but for the price, may be worth it!
Anything that isn’t sold at the outlet gets moved to the back for sorting and processing. Textiles and linens are baled. Household items, books, accessories, and shoes are collected in gaylord boxes. All material is domestically or internationally repurposed or recycled. Goodwill Industries of Kentucky reported that 24 million pounds of materials were kept out of landfills in 2023.
A large percentage of Goodwill’s revenue is used to fund employment and training programs for the disabled and others facing employment challenges. Goodwill Industries of Kentucky’s headquarters and new Opportunity Center is held their grand opening yesterday in West Louisville at 2820 W Broadway. “It is expected to help thousands of individuals overcome employment barriers like addiction histories, criminal backgrounds, lack of education, transportation challenges, mental and physical disabilities and homelessness.”
What We Can Do to Keep Clothing Out of Landfills
-
Instead of buying all the clothes you want, buy only the clothes you need. When you cut down the amount of clothing you buy (and therefore eventually throw away or donate), you’ll free up space in your closet, your wallet, and our landfill!
-
Never throw away your clothes. Consider donating or selling. The only exception would be wet or moldy clothes; those can be thrown away.
-
Make use of hand-me-downs. Pass along clothes to friends and family members!

Louisville, KY (March 13, 2024) – Several local organizations are partnering to host a free event in honor of the 50th anniversary of the April 3, 1974 Tornado. The event will be held Sunday, April 14th from 2:00-3:30pm at Crescent Hill Baptist Church, 2800 Frankfort Avenue and will look back at the 1974 tornado through stories from survivors, meteorologists, leaders at the time and local historians discussing how this event changed our city. Attendees will receive a free copy of the “Beautiful Crescent Hill” book and are encouraged to bring a can good item for the United Crescent Hill Ministries (UCHM) food pantry.
On April 3, 1974 a “Super Outbreak” of 148 F3 tornados hit 13 states including Kentucky. In Louisville, the tornado damaged the Fairgrounds and moved northeast through Cherokee Park and North Fields. During its 20-minute duration in Louisville, there were 3 fatalities and 207 injuries, and it destroyed over 900 homes and damaged thousands of others. Cherokee Park, the historic 409-acre municipal park located at Eastern Parkway and Cherokee Road, had thousands of mature trees destroyed, and a massive re-planting effort was undertaken by the community in the aftermath. The Crescent Hill Community Council was incorporated in the early 1970s and became very active after the tornado, and UCHM was formed after the devastating tornado of 1974, when churches who helped during the tornado chose to continue to work together in developing other needed community programs.
The anniversary event is sponsored by the Louisville Historical League, Crescent Hill Community Council, Clifton Community Council and UCHM. Panel speakers and topics covered will include Tom Wills - Perspective from a Meteorologist covering the tornado, Creighton Mershon - Mayor ProTem with Louisville Government response, Steve Wiser – before and after from a Louisville historian, Sue Gentry - First director of UCHM - churches responses to devastation, Mayor Dan Tafel - Rolling Fields damage and recovery, and Wadia Newman - personal story. Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase Bill Butler’s book: Tornado: A Look Back at Louisville's Dark Day, April 3, 1974.
Attendees are encouraged to carpool as parking is limited! Anyone with photos of the 1974 tornado or a personal story to share is invited to bring them (copies because they will not be returned) to the event to add to the archival information. The stories and/or photos may also be used in a sequel to the Tornado: A Look Back at Louisville's Dark Day, April 3, 1974 book.
The role of the PVA is to fairly assess the value of property in Jefferson County. This is an important part of the process to determine the taxes collected to fund our cities, school districts, and emergency services. We do our best to determine accurate property values, but we don’t know every detail of all properties. The condition of a property could mean it falls substantially below or above the median value. That’s why it’s so important taxpayers know about their right to appeal.
Your help to share information and drive attendance at our public meetings is extremely important: the required first step for those who wish to appeal in 2024 is available only from April 26th to May 20th.

Spring is a great time to clean out a garage or closet. But what do you do with those hard-to-dispose items? Use our Recycle Coach app to search specific items and find local information about recycling or drop-off locations. Here are 5 tips for spring cleaning:
1. Make a pile of items that might be useful to someone else. Sell, donate, or offer to neighbors. Neighborhood apps and websites are a great way to get rid of things quickly - everybody loves free stuff! Most donation centers will recycle clothing and other textiles that can't sell. Check with your favorite location before throwing textiles in the garbage. If you still have loose, small items, place in your garbage or recycle if acceptable.
2. Learn how to dispose of large items that don't fit in your garbage cart. Large items that aren't usable might just have to be thrown away. Contact your waste hauler about curbside collection. If you have city waste collection, you can schedule a pickup of up to 4 large items up to once per week. Residents can drop off up to 4 large household items at the Waste Reduction Center, 636 Meriwether Ave. Residents can also dispose of large items at a Pop-Up Drop-Off event.
3. Recycle old electronics. You can recycle electronic waste at the Waste Reduction Center or at a Pop-Up Drop-Off event (limit 3). Some stores, like Staples or Best Buy, also recycle electronics.
4. Dispose of household hazardous waste properly. Residents can drop off household hazardous waste for free at the HazBin, 7501 Grade Lane. Check the website for a list of accepted items, hours, and guidelines. Old unusable latex paint is not considered hazardous and should be dried out and placed in a sealed bag in your garbage.
5. Don't wait till spring to get rid of the small stuff! Boxes and bags of small items are not accepted in the city's Large Item Pickup program. Donate or throw away items as needed so they don't pile up!
If you have questions about waste and recycling, contact the kNOw Waste Louisville education department!

Students will create their own miniature eco-system, and learn how to add some ‘living décor’ to their homes.

Space is limited and reservations are required. The cost is $75 per person and includes all necessary materials. The program will be held from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Students may register for the program at https://www.historicwhitehall.org/whitehall-wednesdays.
