In this upcoming episode, I sit down with Robin Miller, Executive Director of APRON Inc., to uncover the incredible work this Louisville nonprofit does to support the people who keep our hospitality and restaurant industry moving. From emergency grants to long-term stability programs, APRON provides a lifeline to workers who often feel unseen.

Robin also shares how APRON responded in real time to the recent UPS plane tragedy, stepping in quickly to support those in the hospitality community who were directly and indirectly impacted. It’s a powerful example of how deeply APRON shows up when Louisville needs it most.

We dive into the stories, partnerships, and expanding support systems that are helping APRON grow far beyond crisis response—and why their mission matters now more than ever.
