Happy Holidays from Appalshop

As we bring 2024 to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you—our incredible community of supporters—for being part of Appalshop’s journey this year. Your enthusiasm, engagement, and generosity fuel everything we do, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the kickoff of our 2024 Annual Appeal with our new Voices of Appalshop campaign! This initiative will highlight the power of storytelling in Appalachia by amplifying voices that inspire, challenge, and connect us all. We can’t wait to share even more in the year ahead.

Our office will be closed from December 19 through January 1, giving our team time to recharge for an exciting 2025. We’ll be back in the new year, ready to continue celebrating and preserving the stories of our region with you by our side.

Thank you for making 2024 a memorable year for Appalshop. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a bright start to 2025!
