ElderServe received emergency city aid as its CEO resigned and its board examined the financial crisis
Louisville Metro committed $75,000 to keep ElderServe's meals and senior programming operating amid financial trouble. CEO Timothy Findley had announced his resignation, and board chair Kirstie Matzek said the board had not yet fully diagnosed what occurred internally. Findley had warned in August that the organization could close without government support. The charity previously paused services after running out of money in 2022.
