Easing the Burden, One Voucher at a Time
At Appalachian Outreach, Inc., we believe that dignity, compassion, and access to essentials should never be out of reach. That’s why we developed our Client Voucher System — a collaborative effort between AOI and many incredible partner agencies and organizations across the region.
This system allows us to provide free essential items such as furniture, clothing, housewares, and hygiene products to individuals and families experiencing hardship. Each voucher is a direct connection to hope, giving clients the ability to shop with choice and comfort in our thrift store.
So far in 2025, we have assisted over 100 individuals and families through this program. Many of these clients are:
- Rebuilding after a fire or housing crisis
- Regaining custody of their children
- Escaping domestic violence
- Transitioning out of homelessness
- Or simply needing a hand during tough times
Our voucher system wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our partner organizations who help identify and refer individuals in need. Together, we’re not just handing out items — we’re changing lives.
If you’re a social worker, case manager, or community agency interested in joining our referral network, please contact us at:
