Giving Back to Those Who Gave Us So Much

Join us in bringing comfort, warmth, and joy to the seniors who have given so much to us. Your kindness can make this holiday season brighter for those in nursing homes by providing essential items, small comforts, and fun activities to lift their spirits.

What is the Senior Joy Drive?

The Senior Joy Drive is a community initiative aimed at bringing joy and support to senior citizens in need. Through donations and volunteer efforts, we provide essential resources, companionship, and festive cheer to brighten their lives.

How You Can Help

You can help by donating essential items, such as clothing, non-perishable food, or hygiene products, or by volunteering your time to interact with seniors. Every act of kindness, big or small, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Impacting Lives Together

By coming together as a community, we can create lasting positive change for our senior citizens. Your contributions and support help ensure that no senior is left behind, filling their lives with love, care, and happiness.

The WV Peach Fest is Coming Up In

About WVPF

The West Virginia Peach Festival, held every August, celebrates the state's rich community spirit with three days of family fun. Enjoy craft vendors, live entertainment, a kids' zone, a car show, and more, all while supporting local nonprofits. Volunteers and sponsors make it all possible, creating a welcoming event for all ages to enjoy and give back.

This is what we are all about:

The West Virginia Peach Festival is more than just a great time—it's a celebration with a heart. Since 2013, this annual three-day event in Mineral County has brought families together for farm-fresh peaches, live entertainment, exciting shows, contests, and family fun.

What makes it truly special? Every peach pie you enjoy, every ticket you buy, and every activity you join directly helps those in need right here in our community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we raise funds for local nonprofits and charitable causes, including:

Feeding families through food pantries (via the 5K Run 4 Food and Peachy Bake-Off)

Supporting children battling cancer and other medical needs (like 8-year-old Douglas McDaniel through the Motorcycle Show & Run, and kids helped by Convoy for Kids and Car Show for Life)

Caring for animals at local shelters (through the Pet Show and Peachy Paws)

Giving back to our volunteer fire departments and other vital community initiatives

When you attend the West Virginia Peach Festival, you're not just making memories—you're making a real difference. You're helping feed hungry families, supporting brave kids facing illness, saving animals, and strengthening our community.

Come for the fun. Stay for the cause. Your visit truly matters.
