Charities/Volunteer Organizations serving the Appalachians

This is an umbrella thread where anyone can post information regarding charities & volunteer organizations dedicated to the issues of poverty, hunger, health & education in the Appalachian region.

Some guidelines:
1. Please provide a description of the organization, the area they serve and a link to their website.
2. Indicate whether the organization has religious or political affiliations. Some religious-affiliated groups do a great deal of prosthelytizing while others do very little. Readers may make up their own minds but should have that information available to them, whenever possible.
3. If you have served as a volunteer in this region, please share your story!

Thanks to everyone and anyone for participating.
