A message from the Director:
Now 'tis October! Fall! For us around the Parish House and Crosslines, Inc, October means that we start preparing for our annual Thanksgiving meal distribution which will begin on November 7th and conclude on November 22. Turkeys are ordered, but we will need help with the other meal items. So we need around 700 cans of corn, 700 cans of green beans, 700 boxes of stuffing, and 700 cans of pumpkin or fruit pie filling. We will also take any donations of canned gravy, chicken broth, or sweetened condensed milk. We DO NOT NEED Cranberry sauce!!!!! We will also need around 5,000 plastic grocery bags for bagging the food. And of course, lots of volunteers! Items can be dropped off to us any time during our public hours--9:00 am - 1:00 pm. If you can volunteer during this time please call us to let us know--304-472-0743. Blessings! Alicia |

Service Scholar Spotlight
Jacob Sullivan:
This week’s spotlight is on Jacob Sullivan. He is a returning service scholar to the Parish House and is a sophomore at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Jacob is also a team leader for the No More WE LEAD team, and passionate about social change and volunteering. His future plans are to go to dental school and become an orthodontist. Since he is a returning volunteer he has had much experience with the Parish House and enjoys his time there “I enjoy the Parish House because I can meet and help people in the Buckhannon community and it means a lot to me that I am making sure that they have food on their table for their families and it strikes a personal chord within myself too because my family is below middle/working class, so I know what it's like worrying about where the next meal is coming from and worrying if we are going to be able to pay the bills”.
