Mary White, director of development and philanthropy for the Children’s Home Society, said, “Our organization assisted 13,479 West Virginia children last year and the need for help is overwhelming. This campaign not only raises awareness about West Virginia children who need help or a family to call their own, but provides our organization with a greater ability to make a positive impact on children’s lives.”
OMEGA members participating in the campaign include: Little General Stores, Inc., One Stop, Par Mar Oil Company, BFS Foods, Inc., Go-Mart, Inc., TWJ, Inc., R. T. Rogers Oil Company, Petersburg Oil Company, Mini-Giants, DeFazio Oil Company and the Kanawha City Foodland.
OMEGA has raised over $2 million dollars since 2003 for charities that improve the health, safety and wellbeing of West Virginia children. “This effort not only gives back to the communities where our members live and work, but it demonstrates the philanthropic nature of our industry. This is a win for all involved: the children, our members and the public.”
