O C A L C H A R I T Y WAYS TO SUPPORT

However, the good people running charitable organizations work year round to make Jessamine County a better place. Here’s how you can help if you feel called to do so.

Jessamine Co. Animal Care and Control

Often, many organizations need monetary help in order to get the resources they need and rely on us for assistance.

Many organzations need clothing to assist those in need. Generally seasonal clothing, blankets, socks, underwear, and shoes go a long way.

Money Clothing Blankets

In colder months, blankets and coats are hugely important for keeping people and animals warm as temperatures drop.

Volunteer Time

Having a charitable mission often means that because money is limited and the aim is to give as much money back to the cause as possible, charities rely on volunteers to help their organizations run smoothly

Many charities strive to provide food for community members who have trouble providing meals for themselves and their families Many charities require non-perishable canned goods. Animal shelters may need food for their strays in the form of dog and cat food. Best to call local charities to get their exact needs.

Nicholasville is growing and we are gaining new businesses and new neighbors! It's important we show them just how awesome of a place this is to live! As we move into Spring, join us at the Nicholasville Performance Park for some great music and fun. From Spring markets, to Easter service, it's the perfect time to get out in Nicholasville and share the season with your neighbors.
