Environment

When your limited income barely covers your family’s basic needs throughout the year, budgeting for seasonal expenses like new clothing and supplies for school is nearly impossible. Christian Appalachian Project believes that every child in eastern Kentucky should start school on a level playing field, no matter their parents’ economic status.

Your gift of school supplies ensures that children from low-income families have access to the resources they need to succeed in school. We use your monetary gifts to purchase new clothing for our “School Readiness Stores,” where children and their parents “shop” for a new outfit and shoes for the school year.
