Appalachia has been a region of intense and growing poverty for far too long. Isolation, lack of educational opportunities, ever-diminishing job prospects, and the destructive effects of daily hunger hold hardworking families down. These children, their families, and seniors suffer in unimaginable living conditions. You are the answer. You can help provide tangible solutions to American families suffering in need. Your compassion will deliver nutritious food, clothing, home repair, elderly services, and other essentials.
