The WVUBI’s January Community Service activity is a Canned Food Drive for Christian Help, Inc. The canned items will be taken to Christian Help, Inc at the end of the month. The drop-off box is at the back of the Chestnut Ridge Research Building on the 6th floor, labeled “Canned Food Drive.”
The following is a little information on the local Morgantown non-profit organization working to improve the lives of those in need, specifically reaching out to those in northern West Virginia:
“In operation since 1975, Christian Help, Inc., is a nondenominational, non-profit organization working to improve the lives of those in need. Specifically reaching out to those in northern West Virginia, this organization provides various types of assistance. Through social programs including free clothing, emergency financial assistance, emergency food orders, a furniture exchange and advocacy as needed, Christian Help, Inc., touches those in need with a Christian heart. We strive to reach out to those in our community who have been traditionally left out of the richness of our society and embrace them with the presence of Christian compassion as well as an opportunity for success in our economy. It is our belief that the elimination of poverty from our area does not have to be a dream, but can be a reality with a little help from us.”

Any canned food item is appreciated.
