FOA is raising money to take a trip to Appalachia to help folks in need of home repair and to share God's love. FOA Volunteers need to raise a minimum $1000 per volunteer for the trip. Please ask a Board member or email [email protected] if you have any questions about the methodology related to dollars or hours credited for a particular fundraiser. Remember, fundraising can be fun and a great chance to get to know people.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MONEY RAISED IF I DON'T GO ON THE TRIP?
The money we raise is the money required to fund the trip for the group. Many of our expenses are incurred well before the trip. FOA pays our ASP deposits in January, March and May for each volunteer. Furthermore, contributions to the program are charitable donations to the ASP program, not to individuals. FOA cannot refund money if someone drops out. FOA would encourage people who participate in fundraisers but are unable to go on the trip to consider that, even though they cannot attend, they have made a difference in the ongoing effort to eradicate substandard housing in Appalachia.
