Giving Back

We believe true wealth is measured by more than just money. That’s why we are committed to making a positive impact in our community. When we feel a personal connection to a cause or see a need for support, we love to step in and help. Here are a few of the community organizations that we support.

Hospice of the Panhandle

For more than 40 years, Hospice of the Panhandle has helped those with serious, life-limiting illnesses manage their pain and symptoms wherever the patient calls home. Our experienced team of doctors, nurses, certified nursing assistants, home hospice aides, social workers, chaplains and more learns what matters most to each patient and their family. Hospice of the Panhandle is a non-profit organization providing expert care and support throughout Berkeley, Hampshire, Jefferson and Morgan counties in West Virginia.

Potomac Valley Audubon Society

The Potomac Valley Audubon Society (PVAS) was organized in 1982 as a local chapter of the National Audubon Society. We serve Jefferson, Berkeley, and Morgan counties in West Virginia and Washington County, Maryland. PVAS offers a wide variety of educational programs for children, adults, and families. Our goal is to get people of all ages outside to explore and learn about the natural world! In addition, PVAS manages nearly 600 acres at four nature preserves in the Eastern Panhandle that include trails open to the public.

Shepherdstown Day Care was envisioned and created by a small, diverse group of community members spearheaded by three women who saw the need for affordable, nurturing childcare and education for parents in the area. Created in 1973, Shepherdstown Day Care, Inc., Child Development Center was the first non-profit, 501(c)(3), childcare facility in Jefferson County.
