Day of Service
Kentucky Colonels Day of Service
Saturday, April 23, 2022
9:00am - 12:00pm
The Honorable Order invites you and your family to participate in the Kentucky Colonels Day of Service on Saturday, April 23, 2022.
Through your contributions, the Kentucky Colonels Good Works Program granted $2.1 million in 2021 to 275 organizations across the Commonwealth that will positively impact almost 3.7 million Kentuckians. As well as committing $3.5 million to western Kentucky Disaster Relief for emergency aid and long-term rebuilding. However, as an organization of individuals who are dedicated to making a positive impact, we know that giving back means more than just giving monetarily; it also means volunteering. With this in mind, we would like to invite you to the Kentucky Colonels Spring Day of Service. Once again, we will work with different grant recipients throughout the state. We welcome you to volunteer with your fellow Kentucky Colonels.
Service projects included:
- Marcella’s Kitchen (Benton) – Colonels will deep clean kitchen and common areas and organization food and supplies.
- Habitat for Humanity (Madisonville) – Colonels will help build and repair homes.
- Mission Hope for Kids (Elizabethtown) Site full – Colonels will sort and organize clothing, paint hallways, and sanitize and clean the facility.

Fall Day of Service Wrap Up
On October 2, 2021, fifty-one (51) Colonels, along with their friends and family, joined HOKC for the 5th Annual Kentucky Colonels Day of Service. Colonels volunteered their time at six 2021 Good Works Program grantee recipients in five cities throughout the Commonwealth donating 153 hours of their time on a Saturday morning!
In Covington, Colonels helped organize donations in a storage area at Welcome House of Northern Kentucky. In Lexington, Colonels were at Arbor Youth Services cleaning and organizing their attic, kitchen, bedrooms, and storage areas. There were two sites in Louisville: Choices and Neighborhood House. At Choices, Colonels organized a storage unit and resurfaced sidewalks, and at Neighborhood House, Colonels painted hallways and put together large cabinets. In Owensboro, Colonels disassembled a shed and did some outdoor painting at St. Benedict’s Homeless Shelter. In Richmond, Colonels volunteered at Kentucky Foothills Therapeutic Horsemanship Center, completing two portions of an agility course and assisting with the therapeutic riding program.
Thank you to all our Colonels who joined HOKC at these sites and made this Day of Service a success. siding
