DBSA WV Open House 2026

We held our Open House event on Saturday, May 30 with door prizes and raffles, thanks to the many donations we received from area businesses and community members. Light refreshments and conversation were available, along with our ever-present supportive atmosphere. We were visited by existing group participants as well as several possible new ones. Family, friends, community members, professional care individuals, and perfect strangers also came by to support our mission. During the event, Denver Snider hung a plaque outside Andrea’s Room as our re-dedication to explain its significance. We cannot express enough gratitude to those who attended and contributed. Thank you all so very much.
