Homeplace on Green River gets a funding boost Campbellsville, KY - Representative Pollock, Homeplace Leadership and local stakeholders joined executives from NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, this week, as they presented the Homeplace on Green River Program Director Lyn Stanton and the HGR Board with a check to help increase their outreach and mission. Their $5,000 contribution makes NextEra Energy Homeplace on Green River's newest Elite Heritage Level Corporate Member. Stanton shared the historical significance of the 200-year-old farm and how this local jewel came to be--from a 200-year-old family farm to being stewarded by the non-profit organization Homeplace on Green River. "We are excited to receive this support. This additional funding will help us accelerate our programs and outreach," said Stanton. HGR Board President Billy Joe Fudge spoke at the presentation on the importance of relationships and cooperation. Further, Mr. Fudge spoke of the disconnection between our country's youth and the natural world, and how Homeplace was created to help bridge that gap through programming for all ages. State Representative "Sarge" Pollock shared how important relationships like this are to supporting local efforts and bringing additional investments to the district. He spoke of the urgency of increasing agricultural literacy in youth and the population at large. He spoke at a recent Agriculture Committee meeting in Frankfort and shared how raising awareness of organizations and programs such as those offered at the Homeplace helps gain visibility and support for deserving community organizations. Jarrett Daniels, Project Manager of Community Engagement at NextEra Energy Resources, was on hand to present the check and address the crowd. Daniels said, "At NextEra Energy Resources, we believe in building strong relationships that make a difference in local communities, and we are honored to partner to help charitable organizations such as the Homeplace on Green River. Their programs are helping educate the next generation which is key to building a brighter future for all of us." Daniels and his colleagues from NextEra Energy came from their offices in Florida to present Homeplace with this generous gift and learn more about the farm and the community. Homeplace on Green River is honored to have been connected to such a generous sponsor, and we look forward to working together in the years to come to connect people to history, to the land, and to each other.
