This year marks the 40th anniversary of Appalachia Service Project (ASP) and the ASP journey of Putting Faith Forward continues as we highlight our second decade of service - 1979 thru 1989 - in our Spring 2009 issue of The Front Porch.
By 1989, ASP had repaired the homes of more than 6,000 families, built 17 new homes and had nearly 60,000 volunteers helping to make homes warmer, safer and drier. In this issue of The Front Porch, you will meet Racheal Cain, ASP's first ever new home owner and learn how this home dramatically changed Rachael's life and the lives of her sister and her brother forever.
YOU can help continue the life-changing impact ASP has on families, volunteers and staff every day. Volunteer. Give. Thank you!
