 Would you rather pay $650 or $66 for a smart phone? Simple with the Appalachian Advantage Plan. Pay less upfront and then just a few dollars more every month. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. An historic grant has been made to one Kentucky organization which now looks to help support families of our region. Kentucky Power recently awarded Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky with a $20,000 grant in order to help bolster their statewide fatherhood awareness efforts. We spoke with Dominique Thomas, Director of Programs and Family Engagement, to find out more about what this means for families in our area. The purpose of it will be for us to do many grants, so we're going to have an application that organizations will be able to submit so that they can apply for the many grant funds to then host a fatherhood event within their community. So that can be, that can look a lot of different ways. And like I said, we've done this once before, so we had six agencies with traditional bank. And they did things from, one did a hook and cook event where they had a fishing event with fathers and their kids, and then they provided fishing licenses and allowed just that kind of time for that bonding. We had another that did an event out at the ball field and where they had a family event for dads and their kids. People did educational events where they had different speakers from the community to come in and talk about the things, the topics that those dads wanted to talk about, what would best support them in being the leaders in their households and in their communities. So just to myriad of different things that they can do. So we just really want to be able to provide the funds for them to be able to reach fathers in their community. So we really leave it up to them as to what they want to do with it, but that's our plan with the American Electric Power Grants as well is to replicate what we did with traditional bank. Thomas explains that the mission of PCA KY is to prevent the abuse and neglect of Kentucky's children through advocacy, awareness, education and training. The PCA KY looks to help local children and family service organizations by supplying some of the tools and training necessary for providers who work directly with families. We do whatever we can to get the word out about child abuse prevention, get resources out, any events, we have events going on in other counties and things that are going on statewide. We post on our website. So anything having to do with child abuse prevention, we try to make sure folks are aware of what is best practice and what's going on nationally and statewide as well. For more information about services or how you can become a partner of PCA KY, Thomas encourages viewers to visit their website or to reach out to them directly.
