SOMERSET, KY – May 19, 2025 – When the skies darkened and tornadoes tore through Southern Kentucky last week, Republic Homes didn’t just witness a disaster—they saw their friends, neighbors, and community members facing unimaginable loss. The company’s response was immediate and heartfelt.
“This isn’t about business—it’s about being there when our community needs us most,” shared a Republic Homes team member while helping clear debris from a family’s property in London, Kentucky.
In the tornado’s aftermath, Republic Homes’ Somerset and London locations have transformed into a hub of relief activity. Team members set aside regular duties to focus entirely on recovery efforts, bringing equipment, supplies and manpower to help quickly reset and repair damages to get families safely back into their homes. The company’s trucks, normally used for home deliveries, instead carried supplies and volunteers to the hardest-hit areas.
Families who lost everything have found Republic Homes staff working alongside them, sharing in both the heartbreak of loss and the determination to rebuild.
To extend their support beyond physical labor, Republic Homes has established a GoFundMe campaign with a deeply personal mission. These funds will provide immediate, direct assistance to local families and small businesses struggling to recover—neighbors helping neighbors without bureaucratic delays.
“When we say we’re part of this community, these aren’t just words,” noted a company representative. “The same families who have trusted us with their housing needs for decades are now facing their darkest hours. Standing beside them isn’t a choice—it’s who we are.”
Republic Homes will continue its relief efforts in the coming weeks, with team members volunteering their time to assist the Somerset and London communities. The company’s offices will remain open to provide guidance and support to those navigating housing challenges in the disaster’s wake.
In addition to monetary donations through our GoFundMe page at https://gofund.me/d3cdd0fc, we are also accepting supplies and essential items for families affected by the tornadoes. If you would like to donate items or join our volunteer efforts, please visit or contact one of our local offices at 5351 South Hwy 27, Somerset, KY 42501 and 460 N Laurel Rd, London, KY 40741.
We welcome donations of food, water, hygiene items, clothing, blankets, baby supplies, and cleanup materials. Your support—whether financial, physical, or hands-on—means the world to the families who are starting over.
Together, we are rebuilding lives and restoring hope.
