The Cardinal Family Support Center of Wood County

The Cardinal Family Support Center of Wood County The Cardinal Family Support Center of Wood County is one of many services offered at CHSWV's Parkersburg site.

Families can receive assistance with food, hygiene and cleaning products, children's clothing, baby items and case management services. Child abuse/neglect prevention, accomplished by promoting parental competencies is also a primary focus. Parent support components provide neighborhood parents opportunities to give and gain support, learn and practice parenting skills, and learn ways to relieve

stressors for their family. Family engagement activities are held on a regular basis and are open to any neighborhood youth and family. Additional programming for youth includes after school care with a goal of raising academic achievement, delinquency prevention, positive youth development, and service learning opportunities for all ages. These support services will attempt to help youth build stronger connections with their school and community, leading to a reduced truancy and drop-out rate. During the summer, the site offers a six-week enrichment program, partnering with the WV Dept. of Education to provide free lunch and snack for neighborhood youth

Our first donor during Give Local MOV 2026 was Cre8tive Cosplay of the Mid-Ohio Valley, who donated $750 to our pantry. As you can see, thanks to those funds, we were able to place a large grocery order to restock our shelves and support our families.

Much of the work we do is possible thanks to the generosity of this community and organizations like Cre8tive Cosplay. Thank you to Josh and team for all the ways you support Children's Home Society and the MOV. Your hard work is appreciated and does not go unnoticed! The MOV is a brighter place with community members like you!

📢 WE NEED YOUR HELP📢

Family Support Centers across West Virginia provide critical services that help families thrive through parenting support, family activities, community resources, support groups, and programs that strengthen children and families.

While we are grateful to the West Virginia Legislature for recognizing the value of these services and including funding in the state budget, the future of Family Support Centers remains uncertain as we approach the new fiscal year.

We need your voice. Please contact Governor Morrisey and urge him to renew and fully fund our contracts. Sharing why Family Support Centers matter to you - personal stories and local experiences - help demonstrate the value these programs bring to communities throughout the Mountain State.

Please contact Governor Patrick Morrisey and share why Family Support Centers matter to you, your family, or your community. Personal stories make a difference and help demonstrate the impact these programs have across West Virginia.

Together, we can keep these vital services available for the families who rely on them every day.

Strong Families. Strong Communities. Strong West Virginia
