- We will need a small crew for the Virginia Creeper Trailhead in Abingdon.
- We will be sending a larger crew to Taylor’s Valley to help with debris cleanup. Bring work gloves, if you have waders or water boots, or a chance of shoes and clothes as we’ll need some crew actually working IN the creek.

ALDHA Care exists to support and care for hostels along the Appalachian Trail whose primary purpose is to to give lodging and other support to hikers at a reasonable cost. Most of the hostels, don’t exist to make a profit but rather operate because they love hikers and have a desire to serve.
ALDHA Care attempts to serve and care for the hostels in the following ways:
an annual gift of cleaning product or another item.
donate money and recruit volunteers for small, needed work projects.
recruit volunteers for short-term staff help during the extremely busy seasons.
Donations are always needed to make this program spectacular!
Volunteers are needed! If you are interested, please contact John Jordan.
All ALDHA Volunteers must complete a volunteer waiver form (Download Here).
