On March 8, Backroads of Appalachia hosted “24 Hours of Appalachia: Mothman’s Revenge,” co-hosted by West Virginia Gambler 500 that challenged participants to take the scenic route from Point Pleasant to Seneca Rocks, traveling more than 600 miles of West Virginia’s backroads and trails. This includes passing through iconic locations such as Canaan Valley, Blackwater Falls, Monongahela National Forest, the Greenbrier Valley, New River Gorge National Park, the Kanawha Valley and the Ohio Valley.

300 people, 142 vehicles, and countless volunteers came together to raise funds for the Children’s Home Society of WV . To say they did that successfully, is an understatement! When the dust settled they were able to account for $27,591 raised. This marks the largest to date event the groups have executed.

A huge thank you to the participants, towns, volunteer fire departments, partners, and our amazing partners!

Let us take something off your “to do” list this Easter!

Easter Bunny egg deliveries are back, as well as the opportunity to have your yard covered by eggs filled with goodies the night before Easter!

Last year was our first year running these events, and we are so thankful that our community has shown interest in this amazing fundraiser for our home!

With news of The Matthew Pack Children’s Home opening in the near future, we are working diligently to prepare for BIG CHANGES.

We will be supporting up to 12 children in our new facility (over double the capacity of our current shelter!)

We are kindly asking for our community to sponsor us in this incredible opportunity by donating bedding such as comforters, pillows, sheets, pillow cases, blankets, etc. This is to ensure each child will have a safe, warm bed to sleep in. Our goal is to not have our facility feel like a shelter, but a temporary home where our children will grow, learn, and see that their futures are worth fighting for.

Buffy dedicated years of compassionate care as a shelter RN at the Davis Child Shelter. She was an exceptional friend, mother, wife, daughter, and nurse. She is greatly missed!
