Description
Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 27, Issue 02, published in 2012. The theme of this issue is Serving Appalachia. This issue highlights the many ways individuals and organizations dedicate themselves to meeting the needs of Appalachian communities through compassion, advocacy, education, and faith. Articles profile efforts ranging from housing assistance, disaster relief, and programs for women and at risk youth to grassroots healthcare, community agriculture, the arts, and initiatives supporting people with disabilities. Personal stories of teachers, nurses, volunteers, activists, and everyday citizens underscore service as both a moral calling and a practical response to hardship, while reflections on history and representation consider who defines the region and whose voices are heard. Through essays, poetry, and reviews, the issue portrays service as a sustaining force that strengthens community bonds and expands opportunity across Appalachia.
