In our state, 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 is living in poverty.

That is more than a statistic. It is a child who may not have enough food, a safe place to live, or the support they need to grow and thrive.

Through our Together for West Virginia campaign, you can help change that. Your support provides food, shelter, and care for families working hard to build a better future for their children.

When we come together, we can make sure more children have the strong start they deserve.

Together for West Virginia. Real stories. Real impact. Love in action.💙💛

A single mother, expecting her fifth child, had worked hard to rebuild her life. She had steady housing, a job, and was training to become a peer recovery support specialist. But a $1,700 car repair threatened everything she had worked for.

She reached out for help, and her community showed up.

The Hampshire County Family Support Center brought together local churches, the Salvation Army, a new benevolence program, and Catholic Charities West Virginia. Together, we were able to meet the need and get her back on the road.

This is what it looks like when a community comes together.

Your support helps make stories like this possible, bringing stability, dignity, and hope when it’s needed most.

For many of our neighbors, leaving the hospital is just the beginning of a difficult journey. Without support, recovery can feel overwhelming.

Our Hospital Transition Program walks alongside individuals as they return home, helping them stay safe, connected, and on the path to healing. From basic needs to ongoing support, we’re there so no one has to navigate recovery alone.

Because everyone deserves the chance to heal with dignity and care.❤️

In December 1986, Catholic Charities West Virginia opened our Catholic Charities West Virginia Loaves and Fishes Outreach Center in Hinton. Now, 40 years later, staff and volunteers meet the community with kindness and compassion. We bring hope through food pantry, thrift store, and emergency financial assistance programs, and more.❤️

We are grateful to receive a $5,000 grant from the Truist West Virginia Foundation to support our Emergency Financial Assistance program in Beckley and Webster Springs. This funding will help individuals and families facing unexpected financial hardships meet essential needs like rent and utilities, providing stability and hope during difficult times.

Memorial Day gives us a reason to pause.

We remember those who gave their lives in service, and we hold their families in our thoughts. Their sacrifice is part of our shared story, carried quietly in the life of our communities.

Today, we take a moment to be grateful and to care a little more deeply for one another.❤️

*Our offices are closed today in observance of the Holiday.*
