Sometimes it's the everyday essentials that make the biggest difference.

Laundry detergent. Toothpaste. Deodorant. Baby supplies.

These are items many families struggle to afford, but thanks to generous supporters, our Princeton personal care pantry is helping neighbors thrive.

Many of Dee Oldaker’s clients are elderly.

And some of them admit to her when they have to forgo picking up their prescriptions to make sure they can eat at the end of the month.

“It helps to know that we can fill in the gaps,” Oldaker said. She’s a program assistant with Catholic Charities West Virginia, and it’s her job to run their food pantry program, meet with clients, and order food.

“I’m like the first line of defense,” she said.

Oldaker has worked for Catholic Charities for close to 10 years. But recently, she’s seeing much greater need for food assistance.

Sometimes school counselors call her when they notice signs of food insecurity.

“I’m put on this earth to do something,” Oldaker said, “and if I have the ability to help someone else, I need to do it.”

Walking through the doors of the Webster County CCWVA office and not seeing Edna Larmore is taking some getting used to. Edna has served as a volunteer since about 2000, when it was Catholic Community Services. This year Edna began having some health issues that has made it impossible to climb the steps to get in the building. She is in physical therapy, determined to return and all of us hopes she can. The office has decided to have her a suprise appreciation party to encourage her to keep working. The party will be held at 146 McGraw Ave. in Webster Springs on October 29th. She leaves physical therapy at 2:00 so the party will be shortly after that. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Edna, you will certainly remember her! Please join us in wishing one of our longest time volunteers, recovery to return to work!
