Overview
Mission
To provide support to the unhoused and needy in the Parkersburg area, ensuring their basic day-to-day needs for food, clothing, shelter, and hygiene are met.
What it reported doing in 2025
Food insecurity is one of the biggest threats to our homeless, marginally served clients. Food purchases is our largest expense as we serve a hot meal every Friday, while other organizations and churches serve the other days of the week. Since our shelter is not open on weekends, we provide our clients with River Bags, containing non-perishable foods and beverages. In 2025 we provided more than 3,000 meals and River Bags to our clients. Anyone coming into our shelter and requesting something to eat will be provided, at a minimum, and sandwich and beverage
