The Village Starts Here ❤

Free non-profit services that support Louisville families — no judgment, just help.

Parenting is a lot. (Like… a LOT.)

Being a parent is so many things — wonderful, amazing, hard, overwhelming.

Sometimes we just need a little helping hand. Someone to tell us everything is going to be okay and point us toward resources that actually make a difference.

It takes a village to raise a family — and now you know where to start building your village. Everyone on this list is here to help Louisville families, so don’t be afraid to reach out.

What you’ll find inside

• Family support & basic needs resources
• Parenting support, education, and community programs
• Youth services, mentoring, and after-school support
• Crisis help and “I need help now” resources

Tip: If a resource has eligibility requirements, check their website or call — and don’t worry, you’re not bothering them. That’s literally why they exist. 💛
