Southeastern Kentucky, home to Henderson Settlement, is one of the poorest areas in the United States. The loss of jobs when the coal mines shut down, lack of medical care, substandard housing, and the isolation of the homes contribute to the problems faced by the people in this region.

We visit Henderson every year in late June. With a large enough group of volunteers, we could expand the scope of our program to include younger children. We also collect Boxtops for Education to help support the Settlement and Frakes elementary school that is on the property. We welcome all volunteers to come along on the trip, save Boxtops or just pray for the youth of Henderson Settlement.
