DISASTER RELIEF
The Disaster Relief program provides immediate assistance to Appalachian counties suffering from floods, winter storms, tornadoes, and other major catastrophes. Our relief is twofold: we provide food, water, and emergency supplies through CAP’s Operation Sharing, and our volunteers and staff aid with home and property cleanup and repair in the wake of major disasters.
