Food Programs

Emergency Food Boxes:

Households experiencing an immediate food emergency may contact House on the Hill to request an Emergency Food Box. Emergency Food Boxes are provided based on available inventory and are intended to meet urgent, short-term food needs. Because supplies vary throughout the year, availability cannot be guaranteed.

​

Emergency Food Boxes are generally limited to one distribution per household. Families and individuals with ongoing food needs are encouraged to enroll in one of House on the Hill's regular food assistance programs, most households will qualify The Grocery Program. Those who are shut-in, have a disability which limits their mobility outside the home or due to age or disability cannot drive to a Grocery Program location, may qualify for Food Box Delivery.  These programs are designed to provide continued access to nutritious food while helping households achieve greater food security.

​

The Grocery Store:

guidelines as House on the Hill's other food assistance programs. Originally launched in the Richardsville Elementary School District, The Grocery is now expanding through The Grocery Truck, bringing a free, client-choice shopping experience to neighborhoods throughout South Central Kentucky.

​

Unlike the monthly Food Box Program, The Grocery allows households to select the food items that best meet their family's needs and preferences. The Grocery is stocked with a variety of staple foods, fresh produce when available, seasonal items, dairy products, eggs, bread, frozen foods, and other refrigerated items, with inventory varying based on donations and product availability.

​

As the program continues to grow, House on the Hill is expanding service to communities throughout the region, including Richardsville, North Warren, Warren East, Woodburn, the Housing Authority of Bowling Green, Brownsville in Edmonson County, and additional mobile locations as partnerships are established. The goal is to make healthy, nutritious food more accessible by bringing grocery-style shopping directly into the communities where it is needed most.

 

Housing Programs

Guesthouse - Transitional Housing: 

The Guesthouse Program provides temporary transitional housing for individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis, as space is available. Residents may remain in the program for up to two years while working toward stable employment, financial independence, and long-term housing.

​

Guests pay their rent and utilities directly to House on the Hill in a supportive environment that emphasizes stability rather than the immediate threat of eviction or utility disconnection. Based on their income, residents follow a month-to-month plan that gradually increases their contribution until they are paying the full cost of rent.

​

As a Housing First and Fair Housing organization, House on the Hill focuses on helping residents achieve long-term success. Each household works with staff to develop and implement an individualized exit plan that leads to safe, permanent housing. The expectation is that most residents will achieve sufficient stability to transition into permanent housing within 12 months, although extensions may be approved when appropriate.

​

All Guesthouse units are smoke-free and pet-free. Smoking is prohibited inside every Guesthouse unit.

Impact Housing Community: 

We are always open to new things.  The best laid plans can change as needed.

 

Our Impact Housing program is currently in development.  Our single location design is still our goal.  For the next year, we are working on partnerships with local landowners.

 

Initially, we'll be focused on building momentum by building a smaller number of rental housing units.  Work has begun on designs and number of units.  These units are being designed with high end finishes in 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom Homes.  Homes are designed to be historic, timeless and well-crafted to stand the test of time.  To be considered for housing within this Community, please watch for our Application link coming in Mid-Late 2026 - early 2027.
