Today is the day to give local — and to give back to Lewis County. Today it can be doubled, or even tripled.

The Lewis County Community Foundation Fund was created by Lewis County people, for Lewis County people. Through our partnership with the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation, donations to this fund are invested for long-term impact, while grants are awarded back into local organizations, projects, and causes that serve Lewis County.

When you give to the Lewis County Community Foundation, your donation helps Lewis County today and helps build a permanent resource for tomorrow.

Past grants have supported real local needs, including car seats for area families, program support for summer kids programs at the LC park, transportation support for the Lewis County High School marching band, and expanded arts and cultural programming in Lewis County.

Give Local MOV is a 24-hour online giving campaign powered by the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation, and Lewis County Community Foundation is one of the participating organizations this year.

Your hometown. Your county. Your opportunity to make a difference.

Please consider giving today to the Lewis County Community Foundation Fund.
