    Domestic Violence is Not a Joke

Shop & Share is back on Saturday, February 7 and w Shop & Share is back on Saturday, February 7 and we need your help! 🛒💜 It's a one-day donation drive at grocery stores across Kentucky to support survivors of intimate partner abuse. Shoppers can “shop” for what they need and “share” a few items with their local domestic violence shelter. Enough non-perishable goods are collected on this day to stock our shelter’s pantry for almost a year! Over 200 volunteers are needed and here are the ways you can help: 🟣 Distributing our needs list at one of the 20+ Kroger locations across our 17 counties. 🟣 Delivering donated goods from stores outside of Lexington to the shelter, especially if you drive a truck, van, or big SUV. 🟣 Receiving, sorting, and stocking donations at the emergency shelter. Sign up at the link in bio! Shop & Share is sponsored by @britainybeshear and organized in coordination with @zerovkentucky, the state coalition of domestic violence programs, with the support of dozens of important partnerships across the state!

An exciting project is officially complete! Ryan, An exciting project is officially complete! Ryan, our nature-based healing lead, attended a training at the @muddauberschool earlier this year to learn how to build a cob oven. With the help of residents, volunteers, and advocates, the build came together over about six weeks. Yesterday, we enjoyed our very first pizzas made even better with delicious sourdough from @wildlabbakery. 🍕 💜 Ryan shared, “It’s my vision to continue inviting folks outside through the winter to enjoy hot pizza around the fire ring and to celebrate winter’s dormancy together.”
