Appalachia Service Project (ASP) provides one of the
most rewarding structured service opportunities in the nation -- bringing
thousands of volunteers from around the country to rural Central
Appalachia to repair homes for low-income families. But ASP is more than
just a building program. Yes, Appalachia's poorest families urgently need
your help, but they can help change your life, too.
Through their eyes, you'll see yourself as the person
you've always wanted to be. Compassionate. Committed. With the power to
make a difference.
Through their gratitude, you'll be inspired to serve
others in every area of your life. Through their down-to-earth faith, your
own faith will grow stronger. And your relationship with God will grow
deeper every day.
We like to say that our goal is to make homes "warmer,
safer and drier" for needy families. And for more than 40 years, we've
done exactly that for thousands of families. Yet for all that, we are only
able to serve one in ten families who apply to us for help. We need many,
many more volunteers to make a lasting dent in Appalachian poverty.
