News
In the February 2013 newsletter “House Call” you can read part of an oral history of the earliest beginnings of Covenant House. The following is an excerpt. Read the whole oral history document here.
“Milford Zeigler’s unconventional approach to helping his community gained him the reputation as “the man without a budget,” according to Charleston Gazette interview. When he saw a project that needed doing, he simply talked to people who had the resources and willingness to help make it happen. His style saved money for struggling local programs and created an investment in those programs by the larger community. Milford has been honored many times over the years for his service, most recently with a West Virginia Civil Rights Day award from the state’s Human Rights Commission in 2012. He is retired from his position as community service director for Acordia after 35 years of service and enjoys lunch every day at Manna Meal.”
Needs
The time has come again for our children to return to school. Some of them are prepared with a brand new pair of Air Jordans or a backpack that’s the envy of all the kids. Others aren’t so lucky. Can you help equip our children to succeed in school? Drop off backpacks and other school supplies at Covenant House and we’ll get them to the kids who need them.
