Who We Are & What We Do
Founded in 2015 as the Foothills LGBT Center and rebranded in 2019 as Appalachian OUTreach, our non-profit evolved as events and needs changed throughout East Tennessee. We have always been a board of directors that is committed to uplifting our queer community. Our mission drives our work, our vision drives our values. Today, we continue to primarily focus on helping our queer community with financial and other crises in order to reduce homelessness, isolation, and the negative effects of oppression.
