During the course of a year, we visit all our funded partners to see how they are doing and how they are using our grant funding. This year, the Cabell County Family Resource Network and FaithHealth Appalachia applied for and received a $5,000 Safety Net grant to place Care Trees throughout Cabell County.

We helped build one of those trees, which is housed in the Treister Family Room in the Hoops Children’s Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital. The trees house personal hygiene products, cleaning products, toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, laundry detergent and more.

When you support United Way, you are directly funding projects just like this that help families all over our community.

On Friday, United Way of the River Cities hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at Wayne Middle School to commemorate the installation of new free-vend pad dispensers in all girls bathrooms throughout Wayne County Schools' 6 middle schools!

The goal of this project was to simply provide free, easily accessible products in school restrooms to ensure students do not have to choose between managing their periods with dignity and participating fully in their education.

In addition to the 23 dispensers throughout the district, each school received 2,000 menstrual pads to stock the dispensers.

This pilot project was made possible through a grant from the Pallottine Foundation of Huntington WV and with the support of the Wayne County Schools administration and staff, especially Terri Lynn Queen, Director of Attendance and Student Services, who helped coordinate everything along the way!

When the Cabell County Family Resource Network needs a place to build hygiene kits, we say, come on over! United Way staff and volunteers from Bloss & Dillard, Cabell Family Resource Center and Branches Domestic Violence Shelter filled two large tubs to overflowing with kits that had shampoo, conditioner, body wash and deodorant. These kits will be used to stock the FRN’s Care Trees throughout the county.

We can't believe it's almost been a week since Tools for Teachers! As the first days of school roll around for all the teachers in our area, we hope these supplies will help you through the year so you can focus on teaching your students.

Big thanks to Mike Adkins for capturing these moments during Tools for Teachers and our 2026 Campaign Kickoff!

Another shout out goes to all the amazing volunteers who showed up early to set up, handed out supplies, and helped clean up after. And our sponsors for continuing to support this effort year after year.
