Latrobe Street Mission Block Party
The WE LEAD Poverty Reduction Team is planning a trip to Parkersburg, WV to volunteer at a block party hosted by the Latrobe Street Mission. The Mission is a homeless shelter that also serves as a recovery center for drug and alcohol abuse.
The block party will be on October 18 from 2pm-6pm. Volunteers are needed to: set up, run a face painting booth, assist with inflatables, sell raffle tickets, and various activities to help with their fundraising efforts.
This is a great way to earn service hours while helping a close community, not to mention having a great time!
If you are interested or would like to know more, contact one of the members of the Poverty Reduction Team ASAP!

Thank you for "Spreading the Love" with 1096 donated items to the Parish House!
Contributing groups included WVWC campus offices and staff council, family weekend visitors, Greek life, Human Anatomy & Physiology Classes, Athletics, and members of the WVWC community. Community donations came from Rotary Club, Central Upshur Lions Club, Chapel Hill UMC, First United Methodist Church, Union Elementary School, Buckhannon Academy Elementary School, and other individuals from the community.
The effort was part of the Governor's Day to Serve initiative, which is part of a three-state project by the governors of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. All items are being delivered to the Upshur Cooperative Parish House. This is a very low time of year for items in their food pantry and this will make a huge difference in the community for families who need it.
