Community Involvement

Supporting our community is something Owen Funeral Home is passionate about. Below you'll find some of the ways we help give back.

Annual Operation Toy Soldier

Annual Operation Toy Soldier

Operation Toy Soldier a nationwide initiative to help provide toys to children of military families.  Owen partners with Religious Services Office at Fort Knox.  We organize and collect toys for children of deployed military.   We hope this small act brings a measure of happiness to children and expresses our gratitude for their parent’s sacrifice.

Celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, jr.

Celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, jr.

Owen joined with the Rotary Club of Louisville Suburban in sponsoring a visit from the Kentucky Lt. Governor Jenean Hampton and lunch for 40 students from a local school.  Our own A. W. Buie helped organize this opportunity.  It was a meaningful way to celebrate the accomplishments of Martin Luther King, Jr., while remembering  his message is still alive today!

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones is a special day for the Owen family and staff.  We fully sponsor this event providing lunch and inspiring music.  One of the most important things we do at Stepping Stones is collect personal care items for three area ministries.  Many in our community struggle for the most basic needs.  Realizing it takes many people to help meet these needs, we collect personal care items at this event and donate them.  Our theme is “Shower Your Neighbors with Love.”
