THE MISSION: The Highway 62 Jubilee mission is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the elderly with clothing, birthday & holiday gifts, books and of course, music while preserving the heritage of the gospel music a forgotten generation grew up with.
THE VISION: To be seeking out home-bound senior citizens and nursing home residents. Where have we made an impact? Since the second year of operation, we have distributed over 500 Birthday and Christmas Gifts. We have participated in bringing in donations to flood victims throughout Kentucky. Where do we go from here? Expanding on our needs based mission, with clothing, personal items, and household items.
THE PLAN: Continue making contact with churches, social agencies and nursing homes that have the resources of knowing who and where seniors that have no family or friends to show they are cared for andloved
Strawberry Festival & Gospel Homecoming Singing To benefit Highway 62 Project Hero for the Elderly
Hardinsburg, KY – March 3, 2025 – On May 17, 2025, Dove Award Winning Jeff & Sheri Easter will be performing at the 2025 Strawberry Festival and Gospel Concert series benefiting The Highway 62 Project Hero 62 mission.
1.5 million older adults live in nursing homes and 1 million live in assisted living facilities. Approximately 76 million elderly (27 %), 60 and above live alone. These are the generations that cherish traditional Gospel music. Many don’t have the means to get to a live concert. Frankly, many don’t have the means, or family support to help with a full quality of life. They depend on food banks. They depend on social services.
This is why we now operate Highway 62 Project Hero 62. Meeting Community Needs! With the assistance of tireless volunteers, we organize fundraisers to allow us to raise money to purchase and distribute items that make their quality of life better. With the generosity of our corporate and individual sponsors we work year round to collect clothing, birthday and Christmas Gift, inspirational reading materials and music and to personally deliver these items.
