In 2022, Eastern Kentucky experienced historic flooding that destroyed homes and businesses. In February of 2025, these same areas were hit with even more flooding that impacted communities already trying to rebuild. Week of Compassion is working with Pike County Relief Services and First Christian Church, Pikeville to receive volunteers to help with rebuilding efforts.
Pike County Relief Services is flexible in accommodating groups of various ages and sizes. Ideally, groups will have at least one skilled leader.
— minimum age : 14
— group size : 1-20
— registration : none, suggested donation to FCCP
— housing : air mattresses at the church
— meals : responsibility of the group, with kitchen facilities available at the church
