OMEGA Mother’s Day campaign raises $148K for Children’s Home Society

“West Virginians take care of their own; particularly our children,” Nelson said. “We are thankful that our convenience store members were able to raise this money to assist the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia in helping our most vulnerable population. We appreciate the public’s incredible spirit of generosity and desire to help children in need of adoption and families in crisis.” The release said OMEGA has been able to raise over $3.8 million for charities benefiting children in the state, with $2 million of that going towards the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia. “Our mission is to protect children and strengthen families. OMEGA provides the funding and other resources to help make a difference in the lives of thousands of children every year. They are committed to West Virginia’s most vulnerable, and they make a difference in our communities statewide,” Chief Operating Officer of the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia Mary White said. White continued saying the funds are used for the organization’s efforts to find foster and adoptive homes for children, to assist the emergency child shelters, and to support their resource centers.
