West Mainers serve on the board and as volunteers, and we donate both money and food to this wonderful organization. The Backpacks Program, which provides weekend meals to children at several local elementary schools, is named in memory of West Mainer, Malcolm Huckabee. www.godsstorehouse.org

Rise Against Hunger & Harvest Pack
|
Before coming to West Main, Skyler and Ronella Daniel were short-term missionaries serving in Romania with Project Ruth. We’ve joined Skyler and Ronella in their commitment to this mission, which gives life-changing educational opportunities to children living in poverty, especially those from Roma communities and many West Mainers have had the privilege of traveling to Romania to serve with the Ruth School. Currently, Project Ruth is providing vital assistance to Ukrainian Refugees with housing, transportation and other necessary resources. project-ruth.org

West Main regularly hosts food packing events for these two organizations which provide meals to school children in Danville and around the world. www.riseagainsthunger.org www.harvestpack.org
Habitat for Humanity
West Mainers have been roofing houses since our old World Changers days and we continue that tradition with our local missions partner, Habitat for Humanity. Currently, Habitat is building a brand new neighborhood of 30 houses, Habitat Village North. www.habitat.org/us-va/danville/danville-pittsylvania-county-hfh
