Grayson County Alliance is proud to announce it received a grant from the Honorable Order Kentucky Colonels (HOKC) in the amount of $5,930.93 to purchase one commercial freezer to assist with food storage at the GCA Food Pantry.
The Grayson County Alliance serves lower income families by providing basic food support monthly through the USDA Commodity Program and local donations. Debbie Childress, Director said, “GCA is honored to receive the support of KY Colonels this year, this freezer will help us expand the capacity of frozen items we can store.”
The $2 million mark is a record for the KY Colonel’s annual grant program, according to HOKC Executive Director Sherry Crose, as more than 230 charities throughout the Commonwealth will receive grants this year and 3-million Kentuckians will be aided through the combined impact of the non-profit organizations receiving these grants.
Lynn Ashton, Commanding General of the Kentucky Colonels said, “A Kentucky Colonel is more than just a certificate, it’s a group of compassionate people who care about people.”
HOKC is a 501(c)(3) supporting Kentucky charities and worthy organizations through its Good Works Program. Donations are given by Colonels appointed by the Governor, who chose to exercise this honor in a meaningful way. For more information go to www.kycolonels.org.
