Title sponsor Humana has supported PWC's events in Cincinnati for several years, but this is the first such event in Louisville.



"For almost 35 years, PWC has helped low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners live safely in their own homes," said PWC President Jock Pitts. "We're excited to have that opportunity in Louisville."



"Many of our associates have volunteered with PWC and have found the experience very rewarding," said Kevin Meriwether, a regional president for Medicare at Humana. "PWC's mission to give low-income seniors and the disabled a higher quality of life by creating safer homes for them aligns with Humana's guidance strategy. Humana is pleased to support this outreach that complements the fine work done by other social service agencies in the Louisville area."

About PWC



Incorporated in 1975, People Working Cooperatively, Inc. (PWC) is a non-profit organization that provides critical home repairs, modifications, and services to very low-income homeowners in Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky.



PWC's services are critical, not cosmetic -- like building a ramp for someone who is confined to a wheelchair, replacing a furnace when there is no heat, or replacing plumbing when there is no running water. When possible, PWC helps homeowners to become more self-sufficient in the care of their home.



PWC's services are provided by licensed, trained, professional employees who treat clients with the respect they deserve. PWC's dedicated corps of 6,000-plus volunteers help with the mission by providing low-income elderly and disabled clients with free home maintenance, helping with the small jobs that are simple but difficult for someone who is older or in need of assistance.



PWC keeps the community's most vulnerable homeowners safely in their home, in their community, where they desperately want to be. PWC not only helps the client, but the entire community, to remain vital, stable, and secure.
