A lighter home
Cleaning, laundry, organizing, yard help, and the household tasks that keep piling up.
Practical support · Richmond & Lexington, Kentucky
Life gets heavy.
We help carry it.
The Her Project brings women together to care for one another through the everyday things that can feel impossible in a hard season.
01
Our mission
We’re rebuilding
the village.
There are seasons when keeping life moving asks more than one woman can give.
Grief. A new baby. Illness. Divorce. Caregiving. A sudden change—or simply too many things for too long. The Her Project connects women with a local circle ready to step into the ordinary: dinner, laundry, errands, a clean kitchen, a ride, or a few hours of breathing room.
No shame. No perfect explanation. Just help.
The kind of help that changes a day
Care that looks like
real life.
Food on the table
Meal trains, prepared dinners, grocery runs, and pantry basics for the week ahead.
Life in motion
Errands, rides, appointment support, and practical help getting from here to there.
A caring presence
Childcare support, care packages, check-ins, and the relief of knowing someone came.
How it works
Simple enough to ask.
Personal enough to matter.
A woman can raise her own hand, or someone who loves her can reach out. We listen first, then shape support around what would genuinely make this week lighter.

Who shows up
Women caring for women.
That’s the whole idea.
This is not a community divided into helpers and people who need help. Roles change. Seasons change. We all have something to offer, and we all deserve somewhere soft to land.
- Women volunteering their time and talents
- Local businesses donating goods or services
- Community partners connecting women to support
- Neighbors giving what they can, when they can
