Our Story


Bringing Hope to Appalachia

There's no doubt the opioid crisis has devastated families in West Virginia. In 2015, Hope For Appalachia was created to address a critical need for a residential program for men who have walked through the difficulties of addiction. Overcoming addiction is an intense physical and spiritual battle that requires sustained, long-term efforts. That is why Hope For Appalachia utilizes a Christ-centered approach focused on the spiritual, physical and emotional challenges. Ultimately, the Gospel must be central in this battle.

"Hope For Appalachia's primary passion is to see men, women and children freed from the devastating and destructive patterns of addiction and living God-honoring lives."

— Jason McClanahan, Hope For Appalachia President

There Is Hope

In 2016, 884 West Virginians died from drug overdoses. Here's Hope For Appalachia Vice President Kyle Flanagan sharing our mission to bring hope to our region one person at a time.

Growing Through the Years

After establishing Hope For Appalachia as a nonprofit in 2016, we purchased our first recovery home and began receiving residents in October of that year. While our intention was to first develop a transitional living program, we were immediately contacted by men asking for help while in active addiction. For two years, we served as many men as we could, having between 8 and 10 residents at a time.
​
In December 2018, we sharpened our efforts to create a mentorship program for men who want to get their live moving in a healthy direction. We also strengthened our intake process and developed more intentional efforts with current residents. In 2019, we are developing plans to expand our efforts and provide support and care to families. We love West Virginia and Appalachia. It is our continued desire to serve those who are hurting in this region, for the glory of God.
