We also interviewed Jennifer Waggener, Executive Director, Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley. She reminded us of their purpose. Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley exists to support the independent living of older adults in the communities by lending a helping hand, neighbor to neighbor. They are an interfaith ministry that values the diversity and gifts of people of all faith traditions. They recognize that all faith traditions share a common call to serve those in need. They do not discriminate against any individual by reason of age, disability, race, color, ethnicity, gender, creed, national origin or socioeconomic status.
Jennifer discussed their funding streams and highlighted their upcoming fundraising event, Pedal with Purpose.
Pedal with Purpose, presented by our good friends at Zenergy Cycling, is a fundraiser to benefit Faith in Action of the Greater Kanawha Valley. This stationary bike “race” is very similar to the walks and runs you may have participated in before, with a significant difference: everyone stays in one place!
