HFCK 2014 Charity Drives

Because last year's HF charity drives were quite successful, we are continuing the tradition once again supporting not-for-profit organizations. As announced at last month’s meeting, our forum is participating in two charity drives this winter: a book drive for the “Free Book Library” and a donation drive for GreenHouse17. Offering an option between two local organizations gives fellow Humanists a choice to donate items most convenient/ most passionate to them on behalf of HFCK. Please review the charity descriptions below. As well, collection boxes will be available at upcoming HF events.

The “FREE BOOK LIBRARY” is a small, grassroots movement making books available to everyone! It is located at 557 North Limestone Lexington, KY 40508, near low-income housing where many local participants have never owned a book. Year-round book donations of all reading levels, all genres in usable condition are accepted. BrokenFork Design of Lexington is the founder and sponsor promoting this open literacy project.

GreenHouse17 is formerly the Bluegrass Domestic Violence Program. This agency advocates ending intimate partner abuse in families and the community.  Their specially trained crisis counselors are available to help people harmed by intimate partner abuse any time of the day, every day of the year. The main facility is situated on a scenic 40-acre property in rural Fayette County.
