Sisters of St. Joseph Celebrates Grants

Vienna - The Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund celebrated a decade of grant awards with the 10th annual Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund Grantee Celebration Friday at the Parkersburg Country Club.

"The annual luncheon is to recognize the work the grantees have done in their own projects," said Sister Jane Harrington, executive director of the fund.

The luncheon, which was started to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts and successes of the projects that were finished by the end of the year, included the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wheeling, the fund's board of directors and staff as well as area constituents and funding partners with grantees as the guests of honor.

"We're thankful for all the grantees that help us open doors to the people of the Mid-Ohio Valley," said chairman of the board Tom Whittier.

As of October 2009, the board of directors has approved 606 grant requests, which represents more than $9.65 million in funding toward improving holistic health and wellness in the Mid-Ohio Valley since July 1997.

To date, more than 310 non-profit agencies have received grant funding from the foundation, which has created collaborative partnerships that have made a measurable and sustainable difference in the lives of the people they serve, Harrington said.
