The Urban Appalachian Community Coalition (UACC) is an alliance of individuals and organizations committed to the well-being of Appalachian people, communities and cultural expression in the greater Cincinnati area. The Urban Appalachian Community Coalition was founded by members of the former Urban Appalachian Council, which incorporated in 1974 to “promote a decent quality of life for Appalachia

n citizens of Greater Cincinnati.” While many of the social services the Urban Appalachian Council provided were absorbed into other local organizations when it closed in 2014, its numerous supporters immediately recognized the continued need for Appalachian voices to have a “home” in the Greater Cincinnati area.

In this blog post, Claire Sketch reflects on how spring in Appalachia is marked by more than annual chores and clearing out all the closets in your house. From “letting the house breathe” by opening windows to handmade brooms used to clear out winter’s bitterness to spring tonics made from wild greens and roots, she explores cleaning as a practice of renewal for both home and body.

Last week, we came together for Mission in Motion, an event that brought together two local nonprofits using storytelling to share history and preserve heritage.

We're so grateful to share the stage with our friends at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, and thank you to The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum for sharing this beautiful space with us.

We hope to see you at more events like this throughout the year!
