Piney Hill Baptist Church, located northeast of Burnsville, N.C., served as a vital hub for this isolated community cut off by the river along U.S. Route 19E. Due to logistical difficulties sourcing fuel for gasoline generators, Footprint Project helped the hub install solar panels to power its Starlink. Additionally, the nonprofit provided a Tesla Micro Power Unit that powered a well pump on an individual's property. That individual then became the drinking water source for their neighbors.
