Buckets for
March Madness!
Your organization can help our community be ready for the next flood that impacts our area. Churches, Schools, Nonprofits, or others can participate in our "Buckets for March Madness Challenge." This will help our community to have flood cleanup buckets on hand for survivors more immediately for any future flooding events. This is a great way to help your community to be more prepared for future flooding, and a fun way to enjoy March Madness this year. Message us with any questions!
Free Estate Planning Legal Clinic
Many families were unable to take advantage of FEMA assistance due to issues related to heirship of properties. This training will inform families how to clear the title on your property so that the title will be clear for future needs.
February 2025 Flooding
On February 15th, our community in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky was struck by catastrophic floods for the second time in the last 3 years. While our neighbors have shown great generosity and resilience, we are grateful for those who may contribute to help us build back.
Help us Advocate
for Remediation Efforts
Flooding is a recurring nightmare for us in Appalachia, and there's a clear reason why this happens: the creeks and Fishtrap Lake, crucial bodies of water in Pike County, have become clogged with silt, debris, and rocks. The water levels are rising, edging closer to the roads and homes where we live and work, presenting an undeniable risk to property and, more importantly, to lives.
The detrimental effects of flooding on our community cannot be overstated. It severely jeopardizes the safety and welfare of families, displaces residents, and causes irrevocable harm to the lands we love. The solution is clear and actionable: dredge these waterways to restore them to their natural capacity.
Sign this petition to support the dredging of Pike County's waterways, ensuring a safer environment for all of us who reside here. Let's take a stand together to protect our homes, our families, and our future in Appalachia. By signing, you're lending your voice to a crucial cause that seeks to prevent further tragedy in our community.
