Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley

THE MISSION of Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley is to support the independent living of older adults in the communities we serve by lending a helping hand, neighbor to neighbor.

Merry & Bright

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” ―  Bob Hope

Our hearts are overflowing with humility and gratitude for all who helped make our Senior Christmas initiative such a huge success this year. We were able to provide holiday joy for nearly 90 of our older neighbors through the generosity of those who purchased gifts from the Angel Tree, those who donated hats, scarves, and gloves, those who volunteered to stuff stockings and wrap gifts, and those who gave their hearts to serve as Delivery Elves, paying a personal visit to each of our Christmas recipients. This effort is one of the best parts of the holiday for us. The love and kindness that is shared, the deep appreciation that is expressed, and the genuine joy that is experienced by all concerned...these are the real gifts of the season. Thank you to everyone who helped make them possible.

(Very) Limited Number of NIP Credits Still Available

We’re thrilled to announce that Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP) tax credits are available to businesses and individuals who support the mission of Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley.    The NIP was established in 1997 by the West Virginia Legislature to encourage charitable giving to local non-profits.  Because of this program, contributors can support their community and earn tax credits to reduce their West Virginia personal income tax, business franchise tax or corporate net income tax. A donor who contributes $500 or more to Faith in Action is eligible to receive 50% of the contributed amount in the form of tax credits that can be used to reduce your state income tax liability. Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley has a ( VERY! ) limited number of NIP credits available, with the goal of distributing them all by the end of the year. If you are interested in securing yours, please contact our office today by sending an email to Jennifer@faithinactiongkv.com or by calling us at 304-881-7253.

Volunteer Orientation Training

Our next Volunteer Orientation Training will be held Thursday, January 16th at 6 pm at the Cross Lanes United Methodist Church. All are welcome - no registration is required - just your interest in learning about the many ways you can be part of our service to older adults in our community, neighbor to neighbor. A reminder: we also conduct one-on-one "pop up" trainings. If you'd like to schedule one, email Jennifer today!
