Flood Relief Donation

Update: 08/04/22

Thank you to all of the volunteers, those who have contributed so much so quickly, and for the outpouring of support!

As the situation in Hindman and our region evolves, we will provide news and updates on this page as well as on social media.

It is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of loss that our region is experiencing. The basics of life, those that I have taken for granted, such as a hot meal, running water, bathroom facilities, and a safe, dry place to sleep each night…are all things that are difficult to find in Eastern Kentucky at the moment.

Hindman Settlement School is operating as a base of operations in a number of ways. Unfortunately, the community and Hindman are still without running water and electricity. Our staff and volunteers continue working to provide 3 hot meals a day, cooking on outdoor grills with propane gas for anyone who needs a meal, safe and dry accommodations for 100+ people, and we are distributing donations to our community members. Hindman Settlement School is open and welcoming to anyone who has a need.

Immediate Needs are listed below and will be updated as the situation evolves.

As we continue to care for each other in Eastern Kentucky – your continued support is invaluable!

Many thanks,
Will
