Upshur Parish House expands its reach with a new satellite food distribution in Rock Cave

Upshur Parish House is proud to announce the opening of its new satellite food distribution site in Rock Cave, West Virginia. This expansion represents a major milestone in the organization’s mission to provide essential food and supplies to neighbors in need. The new satellite food distribution site will officially open its doors on Wednesday, August 28, providing residents of southern Upshur County with greater access to nutritious food and vital resources. The facility is located at 4 Church Street, the site of the former Rock Cave United Methodist Church. It will be open Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to offer our services in Rock Cave,” said Isaac Casto, executive director of Upshur Parish House. “Our goal has always been to ensure our neighbors have access to the things they deserve, and this new location is an important step toward making that goal a reality for more families.”

The Rock Cave satellite pantry will offer a variety of food items, including fresh produce, dairy, canned goods and non-perishable foods. In addition to food distribution, the pantry will also provide utility and rent assistance through Crosslines. Future plans include nutrition education and programs to help families make healthier choices.

This expansion is possible thanks to the generous support of local donors, volunteers and community partners. Upshur Parish House would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to this project, including former members of Rock Cave United Methodist Church and the United Way of Gilmer, Lewis & Upshur.

An open house and grand opening will be held on Wednesday, August 21st from 2-4pm. The event will include a community celebration with refreshments and tours of the new facility. All community members are welcome to attend and learn more about the services offered. Donations of non-perishable food items are greatly appreciated.
