As part of Give 270’s Whiskey Wednesdays Round 16, participants raised funds while enjoying a little friendly competition, with 25 cents from every dollar raised set aside to support a nonprofit chosen by the round’s ultimate grand prize winner.

This round’s winner, James Robbins, selected Straight & Stalwart as the beneficiary, resulting in a donation of $3,832.25 to support their work with veterans transitioning to civilian life.

It’s proof that a small piece of every dollar can add up to big impact, and that generosity pairs perfectly with great bottles.

When military families hit hard times, help shouldn’t be out of reach. Give 270 recently presented $15,665 to USA Cares as a result of BR-010, helping provide emergency financial support to service members, veterans, and their families when life takes an unexpected turn.

This gift is more than a number. It’s rent paid, utilities kept on, and stress lifted for families who have already given so much for our country. Give 270 is proud to stand behind USA Cares and the veterans they serve.

Give 270 recently presented $62,500 to CASA of the Heartland as a result of Pappy Palooza Round 3, fueling life-changing advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect across our region. This gift supports CASA’s recruitment efforts to recruit and train more advocates to serve children.

Together, Give 270 and CASA of the Heartland are helping ensure every child has the chance for safety, stability, and hope.

The presentation also marked a major milestone for Give 270: surpassing $2 million in total donations invested back into our community. Each dollar represents belief in local nonprofits and the people they serve.

Give 270 is proud to contribute $15,000 to United Way of Central Kentucky. The donation will help fund mini-grants that provide funding for community projects and initiatives that fall outside traditional grants to provide vital resources to strengthen the community and support neighbors in need across our region.

In just a few short weeks, on December 13th, we will remember and honor those laid to rest at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central in Radcliff, KY with the laying of nearly 9,000 wreaths.

Sponsorships are still needed for the final thousand or so wreaths. Each costs $17 and can be purchased by visiting the link here: https://bit.ly/3KgIPub

Eric doesn’t just know Michigan geography, he works for a company based there! That’s why Give 270 was pleased support the Motus Charitable Golf Scramble in raising funds for the Holland Children’s Advocacy Center & Kid’s Food Bank.

As a result of our recent 50-4-50 Bourbon Strong raffle, Give 270 was proud to present a check for $11,735 to Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland (FAKH).

Serving 42 counties across Kentucky, FAKH works to gather and distribute food to support neighbors in need and funds to help support and sustain agency partner food banks and pantries.

When communities face hardship, Kentuckians show up and that’s exactly what happened following recent storms across the region. Following Whiskey Wednesdays Round 15, generosity was on full display as Give 270 raised funds to support storm recovery efforts in three areas: Elizabethtown, Somerset, and London.

Thanks to an incredible turnout, the final week of the round raised $4,500, which was divided among the three communities to aid local recovery and rebuilding initiatives. From repairing damage to supporting families in need, these funds will help neighbors get back on their feet.

As a result of our recent Safe & Sound Raffle, Give 270 is proud to announce that proceeds amounting to $7,658 will go to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Since 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. They are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America to Never Forget September 11, 2001.

Give 270 recently presented $1,593 to United Way of Central Kentucky as the result of the Bourbon & Blades raffle. Bourbon & Blades was presneted in partnership with Buck Knives and Red Hill Cutlery in celebration of this year’s Bourbon & Blades event.

United Way of Central Kentucky works to provide resources and support across a 5-county region to fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in our region.
