Ready to roll up your sleeves? We welcome businesses looking for teamworking opportunities, churches seeking domestic mission trips, social clubs wanting to give back, and even groups of friends searching for a meaningful way to connect on vacation. Whether you are a group of two or twenty, your group can make homes safe, warm, dry, and accessible for our participants. Just one visit and you’ll want to make it an annual tradition!
CAP hosts service groups for one-week trips in March-October of each year. Groups come from churches, schools, families, businesses, etc. to serve alongside our full-time Home Repair crews and provide families in need with homes that are safe, warm, and dry. In March and April of each year, programming is dedicated specifically to alternative spring break for college (WorkFest) and high school (YouthFest) students.
“There are many things about CAP that have kept us coming back for 14 consecutive years. We love the relationships we have developed with staff and volunteers and that we get to share in CAP’s mission of helping the people of Appalachia in the name of Jesus.”
"Our students get to see that limited material resources are not (in and of themselves) an impediment to happiness. Their experiences on the jobsites give them a new view of what they can accomplish when they work together to pursue an important goal.”
It's simple! Groups interested in joining CAP for a mission trip can start by choosing potential dates and then contacting our Groups Coordinator at groups@chrisapp.org or 859.339.9094 for date availability. Groups will then need to complete a registration form, submit a deposit, and complete additional paperwork (including background checks).
Your gift provides nutritious food, warm clothing, and safe, warm, and dry homes to people in need in Appalachia.
You’ll see your generosity in action and meet people you’ve helped.
Our faith calls us and sustains us— that’s why Christian Appalachian Project gathers for chapel each day. If you or a loved one are in need of prayers, please let us know and we will lift up your request.
