About Appalachian Outreach, Inc.

Mission Statement

Guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and inspired by the Holy Spirit, the mission of Appalachian Outreach, Inc. will be to help relieve the burden of poverty and the loss of dignity suffered by the people of Appalachia who, through no fault of their own, struggle to meet the basic needs of daily life.

We will continually look for contacts in counties where accessibility and opportunity are limited and other charitable agencies are lacking or struggle to meet local need. We will also look for contacts locally who will support the mission of Appalachian Outreach, Inc., therefore building a network where the dignity of all is respected and the love of God is proclaimed through prayer, word, and deed.
