Last night at our October GMM, the Junior League of Charleston, WV heard from our community partners on a panel that we called The JLC Why, led by Taylor Bailey, a long time JLC member and Sustainer.

For many decades, our League has partnered with these wonderful organizations who provide much-needed services to women and children in Kanawha Valley. We heard about their mission, and we learned the history of how our League became involved in their work from JLC Sustainers.

We are grateful for the opportunities to continue our partnerships with these organizations!

We heard from:

- Ronald McDonald House Southern West Virginia: Brooke Hylbert, Executive Director and Alice Abernathy
- Daymark, Inc.: Beth Scohy, Executive Director and Ellen Slotnick
- Gabriel Project - Kanawha Valley: Donna Hawkins, Executive Director
- Vandalia Health CAMC Women and Children's Hospital NICU : Valerie Jones, NICU Manager and Beth Belcher
