New Harvest Assembly of God in Frankfort is giving out water, food and cleaning supplies to flood victims today from 2 to 4 p.m.—the church partnered with Convoy of Hope after early April floods raised the Kentucky River to its second-highest crest on record.
The effort aims to help residents recover from the damage and rebuild their lives.
A record $117,935 was raised for Kevin’s Kids when a ceremonial check was presented at the annual concert on Saturday night.
Thai Smile gave away 500 meals on Saturday morning to community members affected by flooding — the event, known as the Frankfort Community Blessing Event, drew long lines.
The restaurant will close Monday for Thai New Year celebrations.
Matthew 25 Ministries in partnership with Walmart is offering Tide Loads of Hope, a free laundry service for flood victims at Frankfort's Walmart Supercenter (on Leonardwood Dr.) as part of disaster relief efforts.
The service remains open (until Monday, April 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to help residents affected by the floods.
