Faith, Hope And Love in action every day
The J.U. Kevil Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lives and strengthening communities throughout Western Kentucky. Located in Mayfield, the organization was established through the vision and legacy of J.U. Kevil, whose estate was entrusted to benefit the people of Graves County and the surrounding region. Since its founding, the organization has remained committed to creating opportunities for individuals to live more independent, productive, and fulfilling lives.
At the heart of J.U. Kevil’s mission is a deep commitment to serving individuals with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities. Through a wide range of vocational, educational, and life-skills programs, the organization helps participants build confidence, gain meaningful employment, and integrate more fully into the community. Services are designed to remove social, vocational, and environmental barriers, empowering each individual to reach their full potential with dignity and self-respect.
J.U. Kevil operates in a supportive, real-world environment where participants can develop job skills, explore career paths, and receive hands-on training. From job placement assistance and workplace readiness programs to community integration and independent living support, every service is tailored to meet individual needs and goals. The organization also partners with local agencies, families, and employers to ensure long-term success for those they serve.
Guided by a dedicated board and experienced staff, J.U. Kevil continues to be a vital resource for the region—helping individuals overcome challenges, achieve independence, and become active, contributing members of their communities.

Community Employment
The mission of J U Kevil is to help people with disabilities find greater independence in life. We strongly believe that few things do more in this regard than a paying job that is recognized as a vital part of the community. Kevil Industries provides a variety of services including assembly, packaging, distribution and recycling that many area businesses have come to depend on.
