The Plantory

The Plantory is Central Kentucky's nonprofit resource center providing services, connections, and training opportunities to strengthen, support, and grow the capacity of local nonprofit organizations. Since 2015, we have placed 106 AmeriCorps VISTA members with agencies around Lexington, KY. Those members committed a year of full-time service to support the growth and development of their host agency. They worked together to improve food access, housing, education, and economic development opportunities on a micro and macro level in Lexington. Our VISTA members and their sites have accomplished so much! Ultimately, we hope that this project will result in robust interagency relationships and foster cross-sector collaboration so that we have a stronger, more unified and multifaceted approach to fighting poverty.
