Parkersburg's Homeless Count

With all the recent publicity about the homeless situation in Parkersburg (among the news media) and our RHY staff's involvement in helping homeless youth, the upcoming bi-annual homeless count in Parkersburg has taken on a bigger emphasis. Several of our staff plan to participate in the count on the last Thursday of the month. We have been helping with this for several cycles now, and it has become a meaningful experience for many. With the Hot Dog sale that was held Friday at the local DHHR office, and some community support, some care packages of food and supplies will be made available to some of the area's homeless that night.
