The PACF is committed to improving the lives of people in its eleven-county geographic service area and brings together the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support the region’s nonprofits.
The fall 2024 grant recipients include:

- Valley Fire & Rescue - $10,000 to upgrade the station.
- WV Health Right, Inc. - $10,000 to fund the mobile dental unit in Roane County.

Greta Nelson, Dental Coordinator and Clinical Hygienist for WV Health Right, Inc. commented, “We are able to restore form and function and give (the patients) confidence back in their smile. Without your help this would be impossible.”
