Assistance for Individuals needing Assistance

The information is fairly simple at this point that we are trying to convey for assistance for people.

1) Anyone ages 60 and older can request up to 5 meals per week during this crisis period.  No income or qualifying criteria to receive such meals.  They simply need to contact the Buffalo Trace Aging Disability Resource Center at 606-564-7084 and request these for home delivered or to be picked up at the senior centers in any of the five counties. Licking Valley CAP is the provider of these meals but we are doing the intake for them.

2) Individuals who have been laid off after 3/1/2020 are eligible for an additional $600 per week plus their regular unemployment benefit. The additional $600 per week is for a period of 16 weeks. These individuals need to file online at kcc.ky.gov.  If they have difficulty filing, they can call the Maysville center at 606-564-3347.  There is a schedule provided by the Governor to file during the week by last name on the website.

3) I don't have a lot of details on the Old Pogue Distillery sanitizer but it is being offered for health care providers, meal preparers, case managers, etc.  (I think its 80 proof vs what was mentioned today)

I hope this information is beneficial to those looking for assistance for either program.
