Circle of Love Goes Virtual This Holiday Season
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 9, 2020) — The University of Kentucky is keeping the holiday tradition of Circle of Love alive this year by going virtual.
Circle of Love is a gift giving program that allows university faculty, staff and students to give back to the community. Circle of Love has partnered with elementary schools in Fayette County to identify families that want to be part of the program. The program runs now through Dec. 4.
The holiday season can be an extremely stressful time for a lot of families, especially with the financial burden that can come with it.
This year, UK community members can make wishes come true for children by purchasing gifts from families’ Amazon Wishlists. All gifts will be sent directly to the elementary schools and will be distributed by the schools’ family resource coordinator or school counselor.
To access the Amazon Wishlists, follow this link and select the school or schools you want to donate to. Add items to your cart and check out.
Amazon gift cards can also be purchased through the link above or sent directly to the schools participating.
For any questions, please email Elizabeth.Medina@uky.edu.
As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
