Many of you have reached out wanting to assist UK staff at Robinson Forest and the Quicksand Station that were significantly impacted by the flood. Two families lost their homes and belongings and three others lost a significant amount of their belongings. We now have a means for you to donate. We sincerely thank the Kentucky Forest Industries Association (KFIA) for including our staff in their relief fund. The KFIA Flood Relief Fund is set up specifically to provide assistant to individuals in, or associated with, the forest industry including those working at UK’s Robinson Forest and Quicksand.
If you wish to donate specifically to those at Robinson Forest and the Quicksand Station please send your check to the following and indicate in an attached note to dedicate this to UK. KFIA will get the donations to us and we will distribute them to our staff. KFIA, a section 501(c)(3), will provide you with a charitable donate letter at the end of the year.
