Program History and Growth:

Since the historic flood which took place in Eastern Kentucky in July of 2022 St Vincent Mission has expanded its Disaster Relief Program, serving in partnership with the Floyd County Disaster Recovery Coalition to help address the disaster related unmet needs of the survivors in our Eastern Kentucky community.

Since 2022 St. Vincent Mission has worked to diligently set in place processes that will allow us to respond to disasters immediately.  We have processes in place for starting a case management program that will allow us to asses survivors needs and respond to those needs immediately.  We also have tools and supplies on had that will allow us to aid families in recovery of personal effects and household items and to mitigate further damage to their homes by removing damaged/wet debris.
