Hitting the target

In a commendable effort to support local organizations, the Weirton Urban Bowhunters Association recently donated funds to four community entities. The financial contributions were made possible through the fees collected from participants in Weirton’s annual controlled bow hunt, showcasing a successful model of community fundraising. The recipients of these donations include the Community Bread Basket, which aids those in need, the Salvation Army, known for its extensive charitable work, the Greater Weirton Senior Citizens Center, which provides services for the elderly, and the Hancock County Schools’ Archery in Schools program, promoting youth engagement in archery. This initiative not only highlights the association's commitment to community welfare but also encourages local residents to participate in events that give back. The donations represent a collective effort to address pressing local needs and support various charitable causes.

Officials from the association expressed pride in their ability to contribute positively to the community. Such actions underline the importance of local events in generating resources for essential services and fostering community spirit. As these organizations continue to serve the public, the partnership with the Weirton Urban Bowhunters Association exemplifies the potential for positive social impact through collaborative efforts.
