2020 Annual Award Winners |
|
The Bardstown-Nelson County Chamber of Commerce typically hosts an Annual Awards Ceremony, but due to COVID, the event was cancelled with plans for an Annual Event to be planned later in the year. The Chamber felt it necessary to go ahead and honor our winners by surprising them with close friends and family in a private ceremony. In 2020, the year provided many challenges, but there were some community members that stood out with their passion and commitment to helping others during such unprecedented times. The Chamber caught these special moments on video that you can watch on Facebook. |

Abound Credit Union
The Bardstown-Nelson County Chamber of Commerce would like to recognize Abound Credit Union as Spotlight of the Month.
Abound Credit Union helps Kentuckians achieve more.
Founded 70 years ago by ten Kentuckians, the Credit Union has grown up with the communities we serve. With 18 locations and more than 100,000 Members, it is easy to see how Abound makes more possible.
Today, we’ve become Kentucky’s largest credit union.
We’re proud of our investments in military and community health. The military is our backbone, so providing resources to these men and women will always help us stand strong. We’ve provided a long-term $1.5 Million investment to prove our continued support for our military families, that will add primary care providers, patient services and connect military families and all patients to community resources. This investment even offers financial services and education, with everything housed in one clinic.
Over the years, Abound and its Members has donated more than $325,000 to USA Cares, supporting their mission to provide financial and advocacy assistance to post-9/11 active-duty U.S. military service personnel, veterans and their families. This money has directly helped 100 military families pay utility bills, buy food and fuel and other housing costs.
It’s our unwavering belief that together, we can do more.
