Thank you to everyone who joined us Wednesday for the 2026 Women United Summit! 💙

This year’s theme, United for ALICE, sparked meaningful conversations about the realities facing ALICE families in our community and how we can all be advocates for change.

And thank you to our inspiring panelists Sharon Price, Dr. Kendra Mulder, and Dr. Rosz Akins, our nonprofit partners, along with everyone who joined us, shared their voices, and committed to making an impact across the Bluegrass.

Together, we are showing the Bluegrass that United Is The Way! ✨

We loved celebrating our incredible VITA volunteers at the Volunteer Appreciation Brunch this past Saturday! 💙

Thank you to every volunteer who dedicated their time this tax season to helping families and individuals across the Bluegrass access free tax preparation services and keep more of what they earned. Your impact is making a difference throughout our community! 🌟

Launching within the next month, this pilot will expand transportation access in Lexington by providing rides for basic needs, leisure and recreation, trips to parks and community hubs, and visits with family and friends. We’re excited to continue connecting our community to the places and people that matter most!
