Together for Hope: Transforming Rural America

Since its inception in 2001, Together for Hope has gone from serving the 20 poorest counties in America to a service area consisting of the 339 counties of persistent rural poverty in the U.S., nine of which are in NC. Generational poverty in rural counties is expanding instead of decreasing. Come learn about what Together for Hope is doing to support rural communities and how you and your church can play a role in transforming rural America.
