FISTY, Ky. (July 26, 2023) – Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman joined Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) and Appalachia Service Project (ASP) to recognize the one-year anniversary of historic flooding in the area. Generous donations to CAP created an opportunity to partner with ASP to build new homes for 10 families. The $250,000 grant will help families, primarily located in Floyd and Knott Counties, get back into homes that are safe, warm, and dry.  

The Caudill household in Wayland, KY, suffered heavy damage during the 2022 flooding. CAP is assisting families like the Caudills by providing resources and materials for rebuilding. When tragedy strikes, CAP is in it for the long haul. Read more about this story at WOWK 13 News.

"God made us such that we are happiest when we are giving, not taking. There is no surer path to happiness than to put yourself second and others first. In my time in Appalachia, I have been blessed to share the honor of doing God's work with thousands of wonderful volunteers from every state and many foreign countries. If I ever despair too greatly for the future of Appalachia, I only  need to think of those volunteers and my Hope is revived." -Rev. Ralph W. Beiting, CAP Founder
