Nonprofits in WV

I pray to God that this agency will survive the budget cuts! I just heard about the lack of funding! I've seen kids transform with the MAYSP magic! You have to see it to believe it. These kids NEED Danny and Juinell!! Please don't get rid of the ONLY program in Morgantown that really works!! It's all these kids have!

Terrible: very rude young woman . Ashley B.( bi-racial).<br>Please hire compassionate employees for caring and being respectful .

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern WV provided a warm and welcoming place to sleep and eat a warm meal while our child was sick in the hospital.

Want to give these men and women a special thanks for risking their lives to save another. They don't get enough thanks or praise as they should. Most seem to forget that on a 24hr basis they risk their life. So I want to say, THANK YOU!! FOR A JOB WELL DONE <br> JONATHAN L.COXTON

The director has made openly racist remarks as well as being disrespectful to publicly elected non-white officials. That this distressing behavior and ignorant attitude is condoned by the board makes me question how this nonprofit can provide service without preference to race or gender or religion. I find this place and places like it throughout the south personally offensive and a shame to decent Americans everywhere.

Community Alternatives to Violence (www.commav.org)changed my life. <br>When I started working here I knew nothing about family violence, but I knew that I was about to start something great. I saw what had happened in my own life was abuse and that I could help others. Working with abusive behavior became my life.<br>Over the past 11 years I have become more passionate about our clients, their partners and the children. They continually teach me about abusive behavior and empower me to become more skilled and a bigger help to them. CAV clients have done some terrible things in their past, but every day they prove to me that change is possible.<br>I give much volunteer time to CAV because the cause is critical to save lives. I also give financially because the CAV cause is not a popular one--no warm and fuzzies here.

I was without work for nearly a year, and they had a job posted. I applied, interviewed, and have been working with them ever since. They do more than just sell clothes. There are recycling programs, cleaning contracts, youth center, a backpack program to feed kids on the weekends, a career center, numerous training programs, and more. I never realized how much they do until I started working for them. I can't imagine being anywhere else now.

This organization needs to be organized a bit better by having more people volunteering and more teams available for specific sports like for example more swim teams available in a more areas across the state like for example in the cities. The organization needs to be listing sports that are available by area and not by county and put contact information in for those folks that are in charge of what sport.

I grew up spending a few hours a week with Vicki - mostly in her dance studio, some on her porch and in her kitchen, some at the barn with the horses and jogging along the dirt roads. She invested in me. She shared herself with me. She opened up her life to me. She supported me - always celebrating what was inside me and what came out of me. She encouraged me to become more and to trust the greatness within me. Space, time, shape, and motion were the concepts that opened up a world of creativity and expression and art to me. She was tough and emphasized discipline, but in a way that lifted me up and got me excited about growth. She was gentle and kind, in a way that made me feel powerful and important. I have carried so many lessons with me through the years that she taught me: "don't be sorry, just fix it!" and "no 'buts' - just try it and turn it into something else." Vicki Dills is a gem! Anytime a child spends with her is priceless. I am going to bring my own children to her soon.

Please note that current address is 104 Wilson Street, Beckley, WV 25801.

The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace in Hillsboro, West Virginia is a 1858 Dutch farmhouse built in the Appalchian Mountains of Eastern West Virginia by her forefathers in a beautiful valley setting. It was the home of the Pulitizer Prize and Nobel Laureate "Pearl Sydenstricker Buck's" maternal grandfather, the Stulting farm where her parents returned from China in 1892 to give birth to their first surviving daughter "Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker". The museum has actual furniture from both the Sydenstricker and Stulting families. Also her fathers home from Ronceverte, West Virginia in Greenbrier County has been relocated to Hillsboro, West Virginia. It is a 1832 log cabin with historical furniture donated by members of the family. A great place to visit when you are in South Eastern West Virginia. It is a bit remote to find, but only 30 miles North of Interstate 64 which passes near White Sulphur Springs, WV, home of the famous "Greenbrier Golf Resort" Hillsboro is on US Route 219 in Pocohontas County and is on the route to the Snowshoe Ski Resort. Unfortunately, it is only open during the summer months, but is well worth the drive if you are looking to experience firsthand a 19th Century self-sustaining farm. And a great history lesson for the kids looking to see how people lived in the 19th century. Check out the Museum's web site for directions and tour times during the summer months only. www.pearlsbuckbirthplace.com

IN Memorial for my Aunt and Uncles Greyhound that they rescued in PA years ago

they are not fullfilly their mission statement, they are actually cutting services to the seniors in their area,they should be doing the services that they allot for their personnal care instead of cutting their hours that they have alloted and telling them if they dont like it they should go to another agency

I volunteered at the site just to complete my volunteer hours for school and the experince was wonderful. It was my first time ever doing volunteer work and I enjoyed ever minute of it.
