SUMMARY: Frankfort continues its flood recovery two months after historic April flooding from the Kentucky River. The community’s donation center, ranging from a clothing closet to a large warehouse, serves 50 to 60 families who lost everything. Residents freely receive furniture, household items, and essentials to help rebuild their homes. Many, including Christy Pena—who lost her house and cherished belongings—are still displaced and searching for permanent housing. Volunteers keep the flood relief center running, providing critical support. Donations of mattresses, kitchen supplies, TVs, and decorations are still needed to help families restore a sense of home.
