resources are expanding in southern Kentucky for adults with special needs.

The hive in Bowling Green is now also providing services and support in Scottsville.

The seed was planted decades ago by a family's charitable giving.

Laura Rogers has more from Allen County.

For years, this building was home to the workshop, a life skills program for adults with developmental disabilities.

The ladies, who were in charge of the building heard about the hive and thought, well, that would be pretty cool thing to put in there.

It's now a second location for The Hive, a nonprofit that provides services and support for that same population.

I'd like to see the doors busted open.

Tracy Oliver is Allen County PBA and knows the history behind the building purchased by the Ark advocacy organization 50 years ago.

There was a deed in in 76 where Dorothy Spencer and Grace Allen actually purchased the property on behalf of the IAC from the pet milk plant.

And then there was also a promissory note from farmers Bank for like six months, which was a short amount of time back in 76 for $30,000.

Dollar general founder Carol Turner is widely believed to have paid off that $30,000 note.

It was the Turner family that kind of started this whole legacy of caring about people with disabilities in the Scottsville community.

The first driver for Dollar General, Leo Allen, had a daughter with a disability named June.

That's a sentimental part of everything.

June can remember me as a little girl and tell stories on me that I can't remember.

Her mom was my bus driver.

After high school graduation, June's family wanted a place for her to go to build skills and independence.

Back then, there just there was nothing available to my grandparents.

The employees at Dollar General were family, hence that mysterious purchase of a building that would become a space where June and others like her could thrive.

She had a place to come and be active and work and make money.

Decades later, the Turners quiet investment is still serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and it's amazing how the different steps have led to the hive being here at this particular time.

It is just amazing this happened and then that happened and then that happened.

Oh, give me have we just wouldn't have been possible without the Lago Turner Charitable Foundation.

Laura Go Turner was Cal Turner seniors wife who passed away in the late 1980s, her legacy continuing for generations.

Her granddaughter, Katherine Sikora, now at the helm of the charitable foundation bearing Laura Turner's name in 1990.

When the foundation first started gifting out, there weren't a lot of nonprofits in Gospel and Allen County.

The number of nonprofits has grown, along with the foundation's giving, they funded grants for 89 organizations and ten scholarship funds to honor the Turner's early philanthropy.

I had already been researching The Hive.

I met Laura, and what the hive is doing is different and unique, Zachariah says.

Grants are given based on community need, and she saw the hive as able to fill a gap in services.

This is fun.

If we change just one life, isn't it worth it?

It's worth it.

The foundation previously gave a grant for renovations to the building along with other community supporters.

It's very heartwarming to see a community come together like that and the good people that in this town that we live in, do now lives in a senior living facility.

A junebug proudly painted on the kitchen mural in her honor as The Hive received a $62,400 grant from the foundation to help get its new Scottsville services up and running adaptive sports.

So we're going to do like wheelchair basketball.

The possibilities are kind of endless.

The potential is all just sitting there from that original gift from the Turner family.

The hive says they're happy to serve a more rural population.

In addition to their work in Bowling Green, their plans include planting a community garden with a sensory friendly walking trail.
