Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives sponsor an annual Honor Flight for vets who served during World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War. Honor Flight Kentucky transports two veterans from each of the 16 owner-member co-ops to Washington, D.C., and return the same day to an unforgettable welcome home.
Special Olympics: Supporting special people
Each year, we sponsor inspiring athletes at the summer statewide games that take place at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. The competitions include track and field, swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, bocce and flag football. Our co-ops sponsor the games — the largest of the year for Kentucky Special Olympics — and our co-op family of volunteers help run the event.
Ronald McDonald House: Helping families battling illness
Employees of Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives volunteer time, talent and treasure to support Kentucky’s Ronald McDonald Houses and children battling sicknesses. To help families there who have a child in the hospital, co-op employees prepare meals and help clean the facilities.
