Christian Appalachian Project had the pleasure today of welcoming some very special guests into our warehouse. Thirty members of the University of Kentucky football team came out to help us take in donations and load a semi-truck to be distributed to the flood victims of Eastern Kentucky. They came ready to work, all smiles and eager to make a difference. For one hour these young men lifted heavy furniture, greeted people and pitched in wherever they were needed.
The experience for two members of the team had to be particularly personal; Moncell Allen and Anthony Kendrick know all too well the devastation that comes with floods. They are survivors of Hurricane Katrina. CAP served in Mississippi for three months after Katrina and also knows about the extreme conditions experienced by so many in that disaster. Giving back is a cathartic process and we hope that today we helped these two young men and their teammates feel the pride and joy that comes with service to others.
But this team is no stranger to community service. Under the guidance of Coach Joker Phillips and his new initiative Operation Win, donating their time to the community is something expected of these players. And a life skill that’s taught off the field that will stay with them far after their UK football years.
We at CAP would like to thank the University of Kentucky, the Football program and each of the players who joined us today as well as the ones who were unable to attend. We look forward to the next partnership opportunity. Until then we will sit proudly in the stands cheering on our Wildcats, knowing they have more than brains, talent and heart…. They have compassion. And that makes us very proud.
Thank you.

The University of Kentucky Football Team is assisting the Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) to kickoff CAP’s Friends that CARE initiative.
The UK Athletes will be at the CAP Warehouse on Thursday July 29, starting at 3:00 p.m. to give their time helping to continue CAP’S efforts to assist flood victims in Pike County as well as other eastern Kentucky counties. The athletes feel it is their time to give back for all the support they receive from the fans in the areas affected by the floods each year. (Press and interviews will begin between 2 and 2:30pm).
Please come by to say hello and help CAP continue providing aid to the victims of the flooded areas. CAP will be accepting donations of furniture, small appliances, air conditioners and canned food items as well as monetary donations to help fund the project. The CAP warehouse is located at 2592 Palumbo Drive.
