Counties with work teams…  See more about the response to the flooding in Southern West Virginia in the newsletter.

 

HOPE IN THE MOUNTAINS

On February 5 & 6, The Hope in the Mountains Board had a visioning and planning retreat at UM Temple. The retreat was led by Mike Linger, Executive Director of House of the Carpenter in Wheeling. We decided to continue to offer programs that were established in the past. In addition, the Board will be focused on two new

programs beginning this summer…  Read more about the future of Hope In The Mountains in the newsletter.

39.37. There is no way we could have kept the Warming Center open during this period without the dedicated work of our volunteers…  See the newsletter for more details.
