Nicholasville nonprofit gets a helping hand for a day of service
NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Revive Ministries is a Nicholasville nonprofit that aims to serve others through substance use treatment programs, and like other nonprofits, it takes support to keep it going.
The team at Revive Ministries welcomed associates from Keller Williams Bluegrass Realty for the 'red day of service,' which stands for renew, energize, and donate. Heather Johnson with Revive Ministries said this was a huge blessing, especially since it involved extra hands on much-needed projects.

'Over the years, you'll have spaces that just need a little bit of help, like painting, yard work, or cleaning out a giant garage so we're able to move and steward the things we have well,' Johnson said.
This year, the goal was beautification. The team at Keller Williams chose Revive Ministries since their mission aligns with what it means to serve with open arms. Keller Williams realtor Philip Wood volunteered.
'A lot of us really look forward to this day every year as a way to give back to our local communities. We take a break from the busyness of real estate and focus on other people and love on them,' Wood said.

Red Day of Service is a nationwide initiative meant to get Keller Williams associates into their communities, meeting people where they are.
'We just clicked off really well. This non-profit is a great organization, and we were excited to help them in any way we could,' Wood said.
Johnson said it takes a lot of resources to help others, which is why community support makes all the difference.
'As a non-profit, we're always looking to partner with people. Not just to volunteer for a day, but to come in and teach classes, lead devotions, or fix a meal at one of our houses. Being able to have those relationships is just so encouraging for us as a staff, as a ministry, and as members of this community,' Johnson said.
