2022 FLOODING DISASTER

Relief Grants

Eastern Kentucky flooding in the summer of 2022, once again, challenged the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels to fulfill its mission and legacy.

In early August, we committed $1 million dollars to assist our neighbors as they rebuild their lives as best they can, and challenged Colonels to help by matching that amount. The first $250,000 of that commitment was approved by the HOKC trustees, later that week.

Below is a list of organizations that have received emergency grants.
