Once farmland, Mission Hill now includes hospitals, cheap housing for smaller families and college students, and plenty of local businesses for food. On average, families in the area are left over with $84.13 per week to spend on necessities. If budgeted right, this money could be spent on local businesses that fill the area instead of citizens going outside of Mission Hill to buy from larger corporations.

While being an intern at Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), I have had hands on experience writing press releases, being able to pitch a story, create images on Canva to be used on the Instagram page, and being a part of meetings that discuss detailed images of the Spring/Summer issue of the Mt. Spirit Magazine. (CAP) has shown me that even little detail matters even if it means changing the words “poor people” to “people in need” makes a big differences when describing the region of Appalachia.
