CCWVa relocates Weirton office

WEIRTON — Catholic Charities West Virginia announced the relocation of its Weirton office to the Community Bread Basket facility. Officials explained the move strengthens the organization’s ability to serve individuals and families in the Northern Panhandle by providing increased access to “compassionate care and vital support services.”

While the organizations remain independent, the shared space will enhance collaboration and provide greater convenience for clients seeking assistance.

CCWVa will continue to offer its core services at the new location, including emergency financial assistance and resources aimed at addressing poverty and promoting stability.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to relocate our office to such a welcoming and mission-aligned space,” said Mark Phillips, president and CEO of CCWVa. “By working alongside Community Bread Basket, we can offer our services in a more accessible location, while continuing to walk with our neighbors in need with dignity and love.”

Community Bread Basket will continue operating its own programs and outreach efforts, as usual. The co-location provides a new home for CCWVa’s Weirton team as they continue their work in Hancock and Brooke counties.

“Rooted in God’s love, we serve all people — regardless of faith or background — working alongside communities to create lasting change and help individuals reach their full potential,” officials commented.
