Rural Community Assistance Partnership celebrates 50 years of service across the country with #RCAP50. Started in Virginia with the Virginia Water Project in Roanoke and now Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project, Inc. (SERCAP) focuses on improving the quality of life for low-to-moderate income individuals living in the Southeast United States. Since 1969, when SERCAP first brought clean, safe drinking water to low-income rural residents of Virginia’s Roanoke Valley, the agency has grown into an organization directly responsible for providing safe water, sanitary water disposal, and structurally sound housing to well over a million households across its seven state service region.

Watch history in the making #RCAP50.
