Marshall County Long Term Recovery Group is hosting a PPC Application Event for a final push to help the Marshall county survivors of the December 10, 2021 tornado apply for PPC (Public Protection Cabinet) funding from the state, that Governor Andy Beshear allotted for their recovery.

The deadline for applying is June 15th and is quickly approaching. Survivors may be able to receive up to $3500 toward their recovery. This is not a loan. These funds could help those still suffering get back on their feet.

The PPC Application Event will be Tuesday, June 6th from 9am-3pm at the Visitors Center in Mike Miller Park at 596 US HWY 68 West, Benton, KY. No appointment is necessary.

Applicants will need to bring a Valid ID or proof of living in their residence on 12/10/21, their FEMA# if they applied for FEMA and estimates of losses.

Case managers will be on site to help survivors with their applications. Kentucky Legal Aid will be on site as well with free advise on storm related legal matters. Free spiritual counseling will be available on site as well.

The West Kentucky Workforce Board and the partners of the Paducah Career Center invite job seekers to participate in their Tuesday Job Fairs. Held each Tuesday from 10 AM until 1 PM, the job features employers who are looking to fill positions. Meet with employers in-person and apply on the spot!

"The quilts included in the exhibit are created primarily from men's cotton shirts, drapery fabric, recycled sheets and/or tablecloths. Quilts use new batting and backing may be new, to add stability, or re-purposed. Quilt patterns take into consideration the best use of existing materials, i.e. the "Sleevie Wonder" quilt is made exclusively from long shirt sleeves." ~Artist Sheri Marshall
