The Gabriel Project of West Virginia benefits families without adequate financial resources to meet the tangible needs of a new baby. We provide necessary baby items, such as new cribs, new car seats, diapers, formula, clothing, and hygiene products at no or low cost to our clients. The Gabriel Project also recognizes that the needs of our clients go beyond tangible items. We support families in despair with understanding, compassionate listening and, if requested, prayer. We share child rearing experiences, offer information materials and answer general questions about baby care to improve parenting skills. And we make referrals to other sources of assistance that are beyond our mission. We serve single mothers, homeless women, families without jobs or with low income jobs, women and children who are victims of domestic violence, and countless others. Assistance provided by the Gabriel Project enhances the abilities of families to parent and nurture their children and to improve their quality of life. Gabriel Project assistance is primarily provided by volunteers called “Gabriel Angels”, working from community client services sites in churches and other facilities. The Gabriel Project is funded by the generosity of our donors.
