Growing Appalachia preparations

Posted by: Kristi Kendall on January 12, 2013

Growing Appalachia is a day-long conference hosted by the Floyd County chapter with workshops from beginning organic gardening to do-it-yourself energy efficiency. This year's conference will be our 4th and is sure to be the best yet. Last year, attendees asked for food preservation workshops, so this year, our very own Beverly May is rolling up her sleeves and dragging out her canning jars.

Coal company pollutes, Beshear gives them an award

Posted by: KFTC on January 9, 2013

On Tuesday, the Beshear administration gave Laurel Mountain Resources an award for "outstanding reclamation work," which in this case means what once was part of the most diverse hardwood forest in North America has been planted in hay.

We made it!

With thousands of donations of all sizes from KFTC members and friends, we reached our goal of raising $200,000 this fall.

Thanks so much to all of you who pitched in! Together, we can do so much more than any of us can do alone.

KFTC welcomes new organizers, expands staff!

Posted by: Lisa Abbott on December 21, 2012

KFTC enters the new year with an expanded staff, adding organizing positions in eastern Kentucky and Bowling Green, thanks to solid fundraising over the past year.

Almost there!

Posted by: KFTC Staff on December 20, 2012

We are so close. Only a short $12,309 dollars shy of our fall $200,000 goal. The money we raise helps us do this work every day, all year long.    We will reach our goal because supporters like you will pitch in $15, $30, $45 and more. If we've talked to you this fall and you said you would pitch in, but your check hasn't hit the mail, it's as easy as following this link.    To show our appreciation, we'll send a new KFTC hoodie to the person whose donation bumps us to our goal. So be the one who makes that very important and very lucky contribution in these final days of 2012!   If you'd rather not count on good luck but still want a hoodie, call Morgan at 606-878-2161 or email her ([email protected]) to order.
