Metro Council allocated $12,000 from the Neighborhood Development Fund to support South Louisville Community Ministries’ annual Families Helping Families 50th Anniversary and Celebration fundraising dinner scheduled for April 8, 2025 at the Olmsted. The funds will reimburse expenses including venue rental, catering by Masterson’s, printing invitations, A/V equipment rental, and labor costs. South Louisville Community Ministries provides emergency food assistance, utility bill relief, and other services to low-income families and seniors. The approved funds ensure the success of this signature event, which honors local donors while raising critical revenue for ongoing operations. SLCM expects to host approximately 250 guests, fostering community partnerships and public awareness. This award follows Council District commitments totaling $9,000 and requires expenditure documentation prior to reimbursement.
