St. Joseph Orphans’ Picnic
Thousands of Louisvillians made a difference in the lives of local children by attending the 163rd annual St. Joseph Orphans’ Picnic, Aug. 11 at the Children’s Home on Frankfort Avenue. Picnic-goers enjoyed delicious food, such as the picnic’s famous chicken dinner, as well as games of chance, vendor booths and raffles.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to support services offered by the St. Joseph Children’s Home, including the Child Development Center, Residential Treatment Program and the Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption Program.
