Picnic 165 is Coming

Save the date. Picnic 165 is coming on Saturday, August 9th and it's going to be bigger and better than ever. Stay tuned to this page and join our email list for all the latest updates. Also, plan to join us for Friday Night Live on Friday, August 8th.

Groundbreaking for the Cottages is Finally Here!

The long awaited groundbreaking for the largest expansion ever in our 165 history has been scheduled. The Board of Directors and the SJ Kids Foundation will host a public groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, April 22nd at 2:00. Although this is a public event, space is limited. Please contact Sally Walko at 502-893-0241 or via email at if you would like to attend.

The four new cottages will provide St. Joe's kids with a healing and appropriate home in a contemporary, less institutional, therapeutic and home-like environment. Each of the cottages will have individual rooms for the children, therapy offices, a dining room, a community area, and counseling rooms. There will also be a quad-like area for the kids to have more privacy from the main building.

Over $4 million has been raised towards the $5.5 million Capital Campaign goal, giving us enough to begin construction. Fundraising will continue for the additional amount needed, and donations of all amounts are appreciated.
