Northern Kentucky Nonprofit Unleashes a Fundraising Blitz to Nourish Families in Need
FLORENCE — As the clock ticks down, Kentucky nonprofits are in a race against time, striving to secure essential funding to keep their vital programs alive. With community needs escalating, every dollar counts.
Kentucky Gives Day: A Lifeline for Local Heroes
Kentucky Gives Day is an empowering 24-hour fundraising initiative designed to shine a spotlight on nonprofit organizations and rally crucial support for their missions. This year, Master Provisions, a Florence-based nonprofit, is on a mission to raise an ambitious $10,000 in just one day.
Turning Waste Into Wonder: The Mission of Master Provisions
Master Provisions is not just any nonprofit; they specialize in rescuing food that, while still safe for consumption, may be mislabeled or mispackaged. By intercepting this food from the landfill, they transform waste into hope, serving 220 partner organizations across the Tri-State area. These include schools, churches, food pantries, and senior homes, proving that every meal matters.
John Eytchison, a dedicated voice for Master Provisions, notes that although the organization doesn’t rely on federal funding—thus not feeling the pinch from federal budget cuts—donation levels often fluctuate with the economy. He observes a noticeable trend where community giving dips as families face tighter budgets.
Summer Challenges: The Rising Need for Nutrition
As summer quickly approaches, the challenge intensifies. “Many families are left wondering where their next meal will come from,” Eytchison explains, especially concerning the meals children miss when school is out. This only adds to the urgency of their mission.
Every Dollar Transforms Lives
What makes this Kentucky Gives Day particularly impactful? For every $1 donated, Master Provisions can deliver meals to two individuals in need. This year, they have a matching donor, meaning your contribution can double its impact. For instance, a simple $25 donation translates to $50, enough to provide 100 meals for families facing food insecurity.
