Notes:
In addition to the many festivals and events AMoH coordinates during the year, we also distribute clothing, household goods, small appliances, furniture, and food to many families in the Appalachia area. To assure that help gets to those that need it most, AMoH utilizes a network of partner churches and organizations throughout Eastern Kentucky. AMoH acts as a funnel, channeling appropriate aid to where it is needed.
MOUNTAIN MISSIONS:
Mountain Missions is the household goods/clothing ministry of Appalachia Mission of Hope. AMoH continuously collects donated clothing, small and large appliances, furniture, food, personal care items, household goods, knick knacks, and other useful items that is then sent to partner churches and organizations throughout our coverage area for distribution.
AMoH collects donated items throughout the month. Many are collected here at the AMoH mission building outside of McKee. Also, AMoH volunteers travel all over the area to pick up donations from those who cannot make it to Jackson County or have no way to haul their donated goods. AMoH travels to many churches and organizations in Lexington and other cities to pick up loads as well. Once the donated items are collected, they are brought back to the AMoH mission building to be sorted. A team of sorters then inspects and separates the clothing and other items. The donated goods are then grouped together to be taken to a distribution point in the Appalachian area. Some clothing and items are held back to use in our AMoH Yard Sale Fundraisers. Other clothing and items are grouped to be used for special purposes, such as assisting people in need from burnouts, job loss, helping our grieving friends through Hospice, and other difficulties.
Once a load is ready for transport, AMoH contacts a partner church or organization to confirm they are ready and able to distribute the load. Once things are ready on the receiving end, plans are made for transport. Often times, our partners bring a crew to come and pick up the loads at the AMoH mission building. When this is not possible, a group of AMoH volunteers is put together to deliver the load to our partners using an AMoH transport.
Once a load reaches its destination, the goods are then given out free of charge. AMoH partners are located about the area so that even the most remote and outlying areas have access to assistance. AMoH partners have the ability to get the word out so everyone in the area knows about the abetment. Partner churches have first hand knowledge of their area and can utilize and distribute items in the most effective way to assist the peoples of their area.
No one is turned away from receiving help regardless of race, sex, religion, etc. There is no discrimination when it comes to helping our friends in Appalachia.

Donate Items
AMoH is constantly looking for individuals, churches, groups, and other organizations who would like to help in our many activities. Any group that would like to have a clothing drive, or collect household items and other goods, please contact us. Providing necessities for families in Appalachia is our mission; therefore, gifts-in-kind donations are always needed and appreciated. Clothing, furniture, household items, personal care items, cleaning supplies, baby items and paper products are always in great demand.
To supplement our income, AMoH periodically has Yard Sale Fundraisers. At these fundraisers, all clothing is sold for $.50, and household items and furniture are inexpensive. Individuals and groups that would like to donate items for our Yard Sale Fundraisers can contact the mission. AMoH can arrange to have items picked up for your convenience.
Volunteer
Throughout the year we conduct many special projects for the families in Appalachia. This is a wonderful opportunity for "hands on" mission work right here in Kentucky. Volunteers are always needed, whether it is for the Mountain Missions ministry, or one of our special events. If you or your group would like to partner with AMoH in any capacity, please let us know. Please come and be a part of a partnership that touches the hearts of families with the Love of Christ.
Prayer
AMoH works to help families throughout Appalachia, and in doing so we strive to show God's Love in action. It is God's Love that motivates us in every aspect of the Mission. Please keep AMoH and the families we serve in your prayers.
-------------
We are only able to continue this important work because of the generous support of friends that partner with us to take a stand against poverty in the Appalachian region. What better return than the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference in the life of a child and their family. Please, Help Us Help Others. If you would like to partner with AMoH in any way, please see our page, and let us know how we can work together.
God Bless You
