Heaven Hill, Louisville nonprofit build community garden in California neighborhood | Local News [Video]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Heaven Hill is partnering with a Louisville nonprofit to build a community garden in the city’s west end.

Friday, nearly 40 Heaven Hill employees worked with community volunteers to build garden beds, plant flowers and clean up the California neighborhood.

The “commUNITY” project is in partnership with Change Today, Change Tomorrow.

It’s part of Heaven Hill’s new Spirited Neighbor Community Grant Program, which is a $250,000 initiative to bolster the California neighborhood and other west Louisville communities.

“It’s not about telling people what they need, it’s about asking people what they need and empowering them with the resources to make that change for themselves,” said LP Brewer, Community Relations coordinator for Heaven Hill Brands.

Heaven Hill will allocate up to $50,000 annually for five years to fund specific projects led by local nonprofit organizations that support communities near the company’s Bernheim Distillery in Louisville.
