Today was a humbling reminder of why the Community Care Closet exists. 💜
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and supporters, volunteers loaded up a trailer and traveled to Lewis and Upshur Counties, West Virginia, to deliver much-needed supplies to families impacted by the recent flooding.
Our journey included stops at the Buckhannon Fire Department, the donation center at West Virginia Wesleyan College, the Lewis County Senior Center, the Weston Vol. Fire Department, and the donation center at the former Kroger in Weston. Along the way, we delivered essential supplies, including pet food and cat litter, and met countless volunteers working tirelessly to help their neighbors recover.
For many of us, driving through these communities brought back memories of the devastating flooding that impacted our own region in May 2025. We know firsthand the challenges of rebuilding after a disaster, which made it even more meaningful to stand alongside our neighbors during their time of need.
The Community Care Closet has evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined. What started as a way to help local families has grown into a mission of serving communities wherever there is a need. Whether it's neighbors helping neighbors, firefighters helping firefighters, or one small town lending a hand to another, we're grateful to be in a position to help.
Every donation made to the Community Care Closet made today's mission possible. Whether you donated supplies, made a financial contribution, or volunteered your time, you were part of this effort. Your kindness traveled across state lines and reminded people that they are not alone.
Recovery doesn't happen overnight, and no community should have to face it alone. We're thankful for everyone who continues to support this mission. Together, we're proving that compassion has no county lines, no state borders, and no limits.
