From Karen Atkins,
Kentucky River Foothills public information officer:

Kentucky River Foothills is a Community Action Agency serving Madison, Clark, Estill, and Powell counties. We work with individuals and families facing economic hardship, helping them build stability and long-term success.

Our programs address basic needs like food and utilities, transportation access, housing stability, aging and disability services, recovery support, and educational pathways for single parents through our Scholar House programs. At the heart of our work is connecting people to resources, coaching, and opportunities that help them move forward.

Community support is vital to our mission. We welcome donations, partnerships, and volunteers who want to make a meaningful impact, locally.
