Through SHF funds, The Boys & Girls Club of Pleasants County enhanced their kitchen and Teen Center. With the participation and involvement of the Club teens, they upgraded their kitchen appliances and furniture. Because of these upgrades, teens were encouraged to launch food-related programs to help their community: Pack A Snack responded to the insufficient food kids had at home and We Own Fridays provided a safe, fun space for teens on Friday nights. The Teen Coordinator began developing the Keystone Club, which provides leadership skills for 14-18 year olds. Thank you, BGCPC, for showing us the fruits of member participation!
This looks amazing! Thanks for the good work!

The Salvation Army of Marietta was able to provide 62 individuals with a safe place to spend the night last fall and winter. Besides providing temporary relief with hotel stays and offering food and clothing, they were also referred to the Homelessness Crisis Response Program (HCRP) run by Community Action for long-term help with housing. One older gentleman, after staying for a night in the hotel, was driven to Charleston where he could stay in a shelter. He has since secured his own apartment and Salvation Army remains in contact to this day. Many others have expressed thanks for this program, stating that they would have had nowhere to go if not for the Sleep Safe project. Thank you, The Salvation Army - Marietta, OH for helping to bring stable housing to your community, one person at a time!
