Many of our clients are from among the vast number of Appalachian poor in the area; some have lost everything in a fire or storm, while others find themselves in abusive situations and need emergency assistance to establish a new home. All are in need, and they have nowhere else to turn for the service the Storehouse provides

​

Clients must be referred to the Storehouse by a government or social service agency, or a local church, with knowledge of their situation. Clients are served regardless of race, faith, gender or handicap.
