Franciscan Kitchen AN HONORED 2018 RECIPIENT Louisville, KY – Franciscan Kitchen is proud to announce it received a grant from the Honorable Order Kentucky Colonels (HOKC) in the amount of $5055 to purchase 1500 #10 cans of green beans to head the homeless & hungry. The Franciscan Kitchen serves approximately 135,000 meals of year to those in need. 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.
