Thankful For YOU This Holiday Season!

November 29, 2012

Poverty doesn’t take a vacation. The holidays can be a stressful time for those struggling daily just to get by. A great big THANKS to you and the generous friends of Americans Helping Americans® for providing timely, heartfelt donations that allow us to continue helping these hard working families across Appalachia.

In partnership with Christian Relief Services and our supporters, we’re working to provide an extra hand UP this holiday season in Appalachia by providing 3,000 frozen turkeys and over 1,000 new winter coats to families!
