This week we were able to visit our Romney and Martinsburg locations.  Below is the new Romney sign, it looks great from the road.

Also pictured is Sally Johnson, Ami Ray, Glen Spaid and Macie Armentrout. Glen will be transitioning to shelter supervisor in May. Macie is our shelter social worker.  Our staff at the shelter do an amazing job with our children there. Two of our youth were home from school, it was good to visit with them.

Our Martinsburg Compassion Drive location is getting some much needed repairs. The old addition to the building needed to have some windows replaced and some new siding for weather proofing.  It is coming along nicely!

We recently had a great meeting with our Martinsburg leadership team.  There are many reasons to celebrate their good work and dedication to the mission.

We are incredibly grateful to Moses Toyota of Morgantown for their generous $16,000 donation!

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.
