KCTCS establishes disaster relief funds for impacted students

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) has launched disaster relief funds to provide assistance to students and families impacted by this weekend’s severe floods in the eastern part of the state.

Officials say donations to these funds will help provide KCTCS students with resources including food, shelter and transportation. These donations will allow KCTCS colleges to fill gaps in other relief programs to help students recover. Big Sandy Community and Technical College, Hazard Community and Technical College and Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College are in the communities that have been hit the hardest.

“In times of darkness, I believe Kentuckians shine the brightest — we are always willing to pitch in when help is needed. We have witnessed incredible shows of faith, generosity and support over the last two days as our displaced students work to re-establish themselves,” said KCTCS President Ryan Quarles. “Donations to this disaster relief fund go directly to our students to help them recover and continue their learning.”
