Nelson County FFA wishes to apply for $1,000 in grant funding from the Kentucky FFA Foundation, through the Better Days For Better Ways program. Funding will support a year long service project focused on developing and implementing a sustainable hunger program. The planned project will involve raising 50 broiler hen chicks and seeing them through to processing and meal preparation. The project also involves conducting three demonstration workshops in which students will prepare a whole chicken as part of a meal. After processing the birds will go to a local food pantry, Bread For Life.

Team Up! FRYSC and Village FRYSC wish to apply individually for grant funding through Tri-County United Way. Team Up! FRYSC, representing Cox’s Creek, Foster Heights and Old Kentucky Home, wishes to apply for $2,500. The Village FRYSC, representing Boston, New Haven and the Early Learning Center, wishes to apply for funding totaling $2,100. Grant funding like this helps each center to provide services programs that go beyond the funding capacity typically expected through regular channels. Uses align well with the mission and vision of United Way, which has typically been very supportive of FRYSC requests for assistance. Matching funds are not required for these requests.
