The Crew builds one home each year for an Appalachian family without the financial means to afford adequate housing. Our work is located in economically depressed McCreary County, KY. For over thirty years, the Crew has worked with the Good Shepherd Chapel of Whitley City, KY, who selects a family to receive the new home. Each June, the Crew builds a new home for a family living in a run-down and unhealthy house or trailer. Although the new home is our prime objective, more important benefits include setting an example of helping others and trying to heal a family. The Appalachian Construction Crew is a separate IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation since 1989.
