23rd Krista Cottage Under Construction!

MadCAAP’s housing program, named Krista Cottages, builds simple new homes for Madison Countians living in poverty. Over 300 people from 4 area churches have worked together to provide volunteer labor to build the cottage. Members from Highlands Presbyterian Church, Madison Heights Presbyterian Church, Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church and Ridgecrest Baptist Church along with MadCAAP volunteers began construction on Tuesday April 1. The cottage will be complete in just under 3 weeks!
