Forcht Broadcasting Radio & Digital and Forcht Bank proudly announce the Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Drive to support communities affected by recent flooding. Forcht Broadcasting and Forcht Bank are partnering with Pikeville Medical Center and Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH) to provide direct aid through monetary donations and essential supply collections.
With a strong commitment to keeping all donations within Eastern Kentucky, we invite you to join us in making a difference.
How You Can Help
Monetary Donations
Every dollar donated goes directly to relief efforts in Eastern Kentucky through the Pikeville Medical Center Foundation and the ARH Foundation, both of which played a crucial role in flood recovery in 2022.
