Speakers 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.
As a member of the speaker’s bureau, we may call on you to:
● Speak to local media
● Represent Mission WV at foster care and adoption events
● Have your story featured on our website, social media accounts, email newsletters, and other publications
Does this sound like something you would like to be a part of?

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 with essential items listed on the flyer.
*We kindly ask that all donated items be brand new or in excellent condition, so each child feels valued and proud.*
You may also view our current most needed items by shopping through our Charity List on Amazon Smile.
Please contact Mission West Virginia before dropping off a donation. Email Stefanie Drake at sdrake@missionwv.org or by calling 304-562-0723 and ask for Stefanie.
