KCADV Programs Partner with Foundation for Financial Planning
Thanks to a grant from the Foundation for Financial Planning, KCADV programs are partnering with financial planners to provide financial education classes and individual counseling for survivors across the state. KCADV programs began offering group classes and individual coaching sessions to survivors in January, and sessions will wrap up in March. Volunteer financial planners offer classes and individual sessions covering a variety of topics, such as insurance, investments, and budgeting. Following a group session, one client shared, "This is the first time I heard about power of attorney and custody/guardianship issues. I now have an idea of how to plan for the future. This is something I never had before because I was just trying to survive from the violence." KCADV programs will receive mini-grants based upon the number of group and individual counseling sessions they are able to schedule with volunteer financial planners.

KCADV will again partner with First Lady Jane Beshear, Girl Scouts, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the Kentucky Commission on Women, and Kroger, Food City stores, and Super Dollar Discount Food stores to hold Shop & Share. This one-day event allows volunteers to collect much-needed food and personal care items to be donated to the 15 domestic violence shelters that serve the Commonwealth. All Kroger, Super Dollar, and Food City stores are participating. Visit the First Lady's website (firstlady.ky.gov) to sign up for a chance to volunteer, or plan on sharing an item when you shop that day at your local store.
