McCreary County elderly, widows, single parents, veterans, and low-income families have an opportunity to receive free Home Repair services provided by volunteer church youth groups from across the nation. The youth provide the service through AdventureServe Ministries, a non-denominational, non-profit organization dedicated to serving local communities and providing Christian wilderness and missions experiences to church groups.
