THANKFUL THURSDAY 💛
Today we’re sending a big, heartfelt thank you to Halton Company for their sponsorship toward member scholarships at The HIVE.

Because of partners like Halton, more adults with I/DD can access lifelong learning, build real-life skills, and most importantly, have a community they can lean into. This isn’t “extra.” This is belonging, dignity, and support that shows up in everyday life.

Thank you, Halton, for investing in our members and families right here in South Central Kentucky!!!

💬 Comment a 🐝 to help us thank them, or tag a business that should join our sponsor team.

Last month, we recognized this year's award winners at our press conference at the State Capitol, and we want to continue celebrating them throughout Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month! First up, our Innovative Program Award!

The Innovative Program Award recognizes programs, projects, or initiatives that demonstrate creativity and originality in addressing awareness, education, and/or prevention of sexual violence.

Hope Harbor, Inc. and The HIVE, Inc. were selected as an Innovate Program Award recipient for their collaborative partnership expanding sexual assault prevention and education to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Kentucky. Together, they developed a bi-weekly support group providing accessible programming on sexual health, boundaries, relationships, and consent. As noted by the nominator, the program “provides a safe space to learn and ask questions about sexual health, boundaries, and relationships, which have often been avoided by caregivers or dismissed by public education systems.” Led by Hope Harbor staff member Chloe Huntsman, this partnership exemplifies a thoughtful, community-driven approach to addressing barriers and meeting the prevention needs of an underserved population.

Thank you Chloe!

Did you know that Precision Dental - Bowling Green has been supporting our HIVE through their work since they started in 2018?? We love Dr. Bryan, Ali, and the whole PD team!!! We’re so thankful for the thoughtful and generous business leaders in our community who support our mission!!

Get to Know the Doc🪥🦷

Born and raised in Southern California ☀️, Dr. Bryan Packard comes from a long line of dentists 🦷 — his dad, grandpa, uncles, and cousins all share the same calling. Inspired by his father’s passion for patient care, he proudly followed in his footsteps into dentistry.

At 19, he lived in Brazil for two years serving a church mission 🇧🇷 — an experience that deeply shaped his outlook and compassion for others. The love he felt and the service he gave during that time stayed with him, influencing the way he’s lived ever since.

He later served three years as a Captain and dentist in the United States Army 🇺🇸, gaining invaluable leadership and mentorship along the way.

He met his wife, Ali (a Western Kentucky University dental hygiene graduate! 🦷), dated for six months, and knew she was the one. Today, they’re raising four beautiful children — Henry, Isla, Jude, and Finn 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 — and building the life they once dreamed of together.

In 2018, a part of that dream became reality when they opened Precision Dental ✨. Since then, their lives have been full of blessings, growth, and gratitude as they continue serving families in our community 🤍

We’re so grateful for the leader, dad, husband, and dentist that he is. 🤍

For Fun:
🥤 Glass half-full kinda guy, so therefore a die-hard fan of Ted Lasso (IYKYK).
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Four wonderful kids and a superhero wife keep him happy, driven, and let’s be honest… cool.
⚾ Baseball player in another life, but will sing every word to every musical. Talk about the best of both worlds, right?
💪 His motto: “Go big or go home!”
