There was historic flooding in Eastern Kentucky recently. We are asking for help to bring the younger kids of Eastern Kentucky some joy and normalcy as we put together cinch sacks filled with fun items.  Anyone wanting to donate new small stuffed animals would be amazing and bring a smile to someone in need.  Please drop these animals in the box marked Flood Relief located near the office windows in the Commons by next Friday, August 19th. Thank you
