Club members in our District 6690 have been assisting the Pikeville Rotary Club in District 6740 with their efforts to collect funds for the people of Eastern Kentucky whose lives have been lost or devastated by recent flooding. The Pikeville, KY Rotary club will serve as the district’s point of contact for contributions to a 501(c) (3) fund, through an account with the Pikeville Community Foundation.
We are truly grateful to ALL the Rotarians from all over the United States who have come together to assist in their disaster relief efforts. The response has been extremely overwhelming. They are now past the rescue mode and are engaged in relief and rebuilding. 100% of every dollar donated is going directly to people in need.
DIRECT DONATIONS CAN NOW BE MADE ONLINE:.

Update on the Rotary District 6740 Flood Disaster Relief Effort:

Our Vision Statement couldn’t have been framed any better. We truly unite to take action and create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves! I am truly grateful to ALL the Rotarians from all over the United States who have come together to assist in our disaster relief efforts. The response has been extremely overwhelming. We are now over the rescue mode and now engaged in relief and rebuilding. 100% of every dollar donated is going directly to people in need.
Thanks to the generosity of Community Trust Bank, they are waving all the fees associated with issuing gift cards. Our first round of relief is scheduled for this Friday to Sunday. We are going to distribute $65,000 to over 500 families in 7 sites all over eastern Kentucky in gift cards. Our second round of allocation of $50,000 will go out after 2 weeks to reach another 400 families. We also got approved for a Rotary disaster grant for $25,000 which we will use to assist 250 children with $100 gift cards towards purchase of school supplies, clothes, shoes, etc. Under the leadership of PDG Rakesh Sachdeva we are working to secure corporate matches for this grant with aspirations to help 1000 children.
If you would like to send monetary donations, please mail your checks to:
Pikeville Rotary Club Eastern Kentucky Disaster Relief Fund
PO Box 988
Pikeville, KY 41502
These funds would be used for immediate disaster relief for the affected families as decided by a group of local Rotarians. The fund is set up as a 501(c)(3) account with our Pikeville Community Foundation (local chapter of the Foundation of Appalachian Kentucky).
