About Us

Empowering the Community Through Faith & Compassion

Our mission is to connect vulnerable individuals and families in rural Kentucky to ministries and resources. We know that when people don’t have access to medical care, proper nutrition, shelter, clothing or mental health support it’s very hard to open your heart to hearing the Good News of the Gospel.
