Last week was 7 Hills Church "Heart The City" week! This is a time when they give back to the community by serving other organizations with volunteer work. Our Boone County Head Start center was blessed to be chosen. The heat didn't stop this dynamic group from lots of rock laying and mulch spreading. #community #HeadStartProud

From juggling parenthood to obtaining a degree, yesterday we celebrated not just the Lincoln Grant Scholar House participant graduate's accomplishments, but the journey of resilience and determination as a single parent. Here's to proving that parenthood and higher education can indeed go hand in hand. We also want to congratulate children who call LGSH home, marking their own milestone graduations. Together, we celebrate the strength of single-parent families and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. #SingleParentGrad #Classof2024 Thank you to our guests at this year's graduation celebration: KY Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary, Eric Friedlander U.S. DHHS ACF Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Jeff Hild & ACF R4 Regional Administrator, Jacque Mull U.S. DHHS RIV Regional Director, Antrell Tyson Mayor Pro Tem/Commissioner, City of Covington, Ron Washington LGSH Success Story, Lindsey Honaker Music performances by Preston Bell and Jayda Klink
