It’s our annual GivingTuesday campaign, now through December 3.
Since 1995, ASD has been working to grow a stronger Appalachia through agriculture, by supporting farmers, providing food to people in need, and boosting our local economies. During our annual GivingTuesday campaign, please donate to help ASD raise $80,000 to continue making an impact. Through a generous pledge, your donation is matched 1:1 up to $40,000.
