The Appalachia Region includes parts of 13 different states and is home to some of the most impoverished areas of the USA. ASP has been serving among, ministering to, and working with the people of Appalachia for more than 50 years.

Cost $200 per person Due to our partnership with Lambeau Field, our fundraising efforts mean we can offer this trip to everyone heavily subsidized. As in, the cost of this trip is way more than $200. But this is why we fundraise at Lambeau. If $200 is a hardship for you or your family, scholarships are available when you sign up.
