VOA Mid-States

Over the weekend, our Freedom House moms and kids in Louisville enjoyed some spooky fun at Boo at the Zoo! From costumes and candy to unforgettable family moments, the outing provided a chance to create joyful memories together while celebrating the season.

Monarch Station is living up to its name! Thanks to a partnership with @LouisvilleZoo's Monarchs & Milkweed program, a new pollinator garden is taking root at VOA's Monarch Station apartments. We can't wait to see monarch butterflies make their way to a place built just for them.
