About the Project
2012 will be Brook Hill's 10th year participating with the Appalachia Service Project. In June we will have total of 8 teams travelling to one of the 4 states that the ASP organization serves in, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee or Kentucky. Our team will be made up of 40 Youth and 16 Adults. Appalachia Service Project (ASP) is a Christian ministry, open to all people, that fosters human development by addressing the housing needs of Central Appalachia. Each year through the ASP ministry about 15,000 volunteers repair homes for 400-500 low-income families in rural areas of Central Appalachia. The goal of ASP is to make homes warmer, safer and drier for families in need, while offering transformational experiences for families, volunteers and staff alike. The home repairs made can take place from the ground up to the roof, and everywhere in-between. Typical repairs include: repairing roofs, building room additions, providing wheelchair ramps, installing or repairing plumbing, updating unsafe wiring, securing foundations, digging drainage ditches, constructing porches and steps, installing insulation and siding, and weatherizing homes. ASP even provides first-time electricity and indoor plumbing for multiple families each year.
