STANDING STRONG
FOR OVER 60 YEARS
We are Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), founded by Rev. Ralph W. Beiting, a young Northern Kentucky priest. Since our beginning in 1964, we have been committed to our mission of building hope, transforming lives, and sharing Christ's love through service in Appalachia.
CAP serves children, their families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities to provide the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter. Because of the incredibly diverse needs of the people in our region, CAP focuses on nine human services priorities: food insecurity, clothing, home repair, emergency assistance, early childhood education, counseling, youth development, elderly services, and disaster relief.
Through the prevailing support of our donors, employees, volunteers, and the communities we serve, we look forward to the hope that will continue to be restored for thousands of people in Central Appalachia in the years to come.
