Shock and awe. That was the reaction in the Capitol Rotunda when Kroger executive Tim McGurk and Domestic Violence Association President Ann Perkins unveiled Monday how much Shop and Share Day raised to help the state’s women’s shelters. This year’s total of $782,296 exceeded the goal of $500,000 by more than $250,000 – and totaled more than what the drive raised in the past four years. First lady Jane Beshear, who led the effort to collect food, supplies and money for 13 shelters of the DVA in Kentucky, thanked Kentuckians for their generosity.
