Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $19,071 spent. 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
  2. $3,256 spent. Our shelter provides shower and washer and dryer services to our clients. This amount represents the cost of body wash, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes and other hygiene items, as well as laundry detergent and supplies. Clients are able to get on a shower list each day we are open, as well as take turns doing their laundry.
  3. $1,321 spent. Though not a a large amount, this service is quite important as we are using a $2,000 grant from our local Elks Club to obtain vital records and valid IDs for our clients in need of these documents, as they are necessary to apply for benefits with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services. In 2025 we were able to obtain 57 such documents.
