Community Bread Basket receives six-figure gift

Philanthropists Bill and Nena Beynon donated $100,000 to Weirton’s Community Bread Basket, with half allocated for holiday food baskets for local families in need. The remaining funds will enhance the nonprofit’s efforts to tackle food insecurity across the Northern Panhandle. Bill, a Weirton native, emphasized how their West Virginia roots shaped their values of hard work and generosity. Nena called on others to contribute, asserting that even small gestures can create meaningful change. The Community Bread Basket has served the area for decades, relying on community support to fulfill its mission.

In expressing gratitude, a spokesperson noted that the Beynons’ generosity reflects the enduring spirit of West Virginia. The agency encourages additional support for its holiday programs and year-round services. To register for a holiday food basket, individuals can contact the organization or visit on specified days.
