The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have made a significant contribution to support students in Nelson County by donating nearly $11,000 to two public schools. The donation aims to provide winter clothing for students in need at Cox’s Creek Elementary School and Bardstown Elementary School.

The funds were presented to the family resource center coordinators at these schools. This initiative was part of the sisters' 2024 Give for Good Louisville fundraising effort. An additional contribution of $2,500 from Fifth Third Bank assisted in reaching their fundraising target.

Stephanie Lamar, director of development for the sisters’ Office of Mission Advancement, expressed gratitude towards the donors: “We are grateful to all of our generous donors whose contributions have been instrumental in making this outreach possible.” She emphasized that the donation is not only about providing winter clothing but also about ensuring every child has an opportunity to thrive and succeed regardless of their circumstances.
