Make a Difference Through Volunteering

Volunteers play a vital role in helping Mission West Virginia create brighter futures for children and families across the state. Whether you’re sharing your experience as a foster, adoptive, or kinship parent, assisting with community outreach, or supporting special events, your time and talents can make a lasting impact. Join us in raising awareness, supporting families, and helping more children find the safe, loving homes they deserve.

Speaker’s Bureau

We believe that one of the best recruitment tools for new foster and adoptive parents is sharing personal experiences and stories. Sharing your story can inspire others to foster or adopt from foster care.

Our goal is to have trained families, youth, and professionals that we can call on immediately to share their positive adoption and foster care experiences.

The Carry-On Campaign

The goal of the Carry-On campaign is to eliminate garbage bags as an acceptable form of luggage for children in foster care. With help from generous donors in our community, we are reaching our goal one bag at a time. Imagine how it feels to start over in a new place—what a difference it makes to have something clean, new, and truly theirs. Please donate new bags and pack them with the essential items listed on the flyer.

Please contact Mission West Virginia before dropping off a donation.

We kindly ask that all donated items be brand new or in excellent condition, so each child feels valued and proud.
