UC Healthy Grandfamilies Summer Sessions

Join us for our summer Healthy Grandfamilies sessions beginning Thursday, June 12th from 11:30am to 1:00pm, every Thursday (except July 4th week) throughout July for informative sessions, lunch, child care/activities for the kids, and talking in a safe space.

These sessions are for ANY grandparents raising their grandchildren for ANY reason, full or part time. We want to give our grandparents the tools they need to help their grandchildren thrive.

Each week we get together and eat lunch and while the children play together, we work with a presenter (or two) each week on different topics to learn and ask the questions you want answers. There are no big presentations. We sit and talk with the experts who most usually have lived experience like you.

Each family will receive a gift card for weekly attendance and a grocery gift card if the majority of the sessions are attended. (We usually have other goodies along the way.) We don’t judge, and we usually form relationships. We are here for your needs.

**Kinship/relative families are invited as well. We just need to remind everyone that not all supports or programs are available to all groups.**

Please call Lori at 304.473.1051!

WV’s Largest Yard Sale

It’s officially summer when plans are underway for WV’s Largest Yard Sale in Upshur and Lewis Counties! The first weekend in August has become a HUGE annual event – folks start calling in January / February to confirm the dates and make their plans. Not only are people coming from all over West Virginia to bargain shop, but from surrounding states to find a good deal! Find dozens upon dozens of Yard Sales scattered throughout multiple counties in the center of West Virginia, and join us in welcoming visitors as they travel and discover our small towns’ charm.

That’s the goal of WV’s Largest Yard Sale…. for locals to have an opportunity to sell their unwanted items and clear out their garages while bargain hunters have the best experience shopping yard sales in our towns. Not only do folks stop by the Yard Sales, they are exploring all that our counties have to offer. They get to see the historic buildings, drive some country roads, discover some amazing food at local restaurants and enjoy a weekend with their friends and family.

If Bargain Hunting, Be Prepared:
. Comfortable Walking Shoes – One of the great things about WV’s Largest Yard Sale is that you get to see our beautiful neighborhoods, and many times you’ll find a long stretch of Yard Sales along one street. But you do have to walk between Yard Sales, so plan to dress comfortably!
. Water, Water and more Water – The weather is always spectacular and sunny during WV’s Largest Yard Sale, so stay hydrated & enjoy! Sunscreen, sunglasses & hats are a good idea, too.
. Shopping Bags – Most of the individual Yard Sales will have bags available for you after you’ve purchased a few items; But it’s a good idea to bring a reusable bag, just in case.
. Cash & Change – It sounds obvious, but remember to bring pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and plenty of ‘small’ bills to purchase your bargain!

Map
A digital map of yard sale locations will be available beginning the week of July 14th. We will do our best to provide printed maps again this year, but we cannot guarantee they will be available moving forward. We do apologize for any inconvenience that may cause!

To Register a Yard Sale
Registration will open on June 1, 2025 and close on July 11, 2025.

Registration for the WV’s Largest Yard Sale will be online using a simple online form, and registration is FREE again this year!
