Our church is attending Appalachia Service Project (ASP), July 16-21, 2022. The location will be announced in late April (usually within 7-8 hour drive). We will stay in a community center (usually a public school), and go to home sites to make them Warmer (insulation and underpinning), Safer (flooring, porches and ramps), and Drier (roofs and drainage).
ASP is a home repairs camp for students ages 13+, and adult leaders (must be 19+). Work teams are comprised of 2 adults minimum, 5 students maximum. Any skill levels are welcome to participate. We also prefer to have a “floater” with a truck who has some expertise and can go between sites with additional building supplies or equipment.
Money Talk
$350 per participant – ASP Fee.
Plus, approximately $150 per participant – vehicle rental fees· Our annual Football Parking Fundraiser significantly covers the costs of vehicle rentals. This year, we have already raised over $7,000 which should pay entirely for vehicle rentals.
· Shareholder Fundraiser – Individuals who register for ASP will raise money to cut the cost of the trip by inviting others to invest in your trip. All “Shareholders” will be invited to an ASP presentation by our team within the month after our trip.
