Resiliently Bridging The Gap in WV

The WV VOAD Bridge project is providing families who were affected by 2015 flooding and lack the resources to recover on their own with safe bridges that will be as resilient as possible to future storms. Here in West Virginia, our greatest resources are each other. This is a whole community effort. We are not just building bridges; we are connecting our children to education, our elderly to medical facilities, and our neighbors to us.

Build a bridge with us!

You can make a difference in our community. Help us fund the restoration of these bridges and the livelihoods of over 300 families. Please consider donating because every donation big and small can help resiliently bridge the gap in WV!

Bridges are built to a standard that exceeds state and federal standards.

FEMA Individual Assistance was denied for all of the 2015 WV flood events. All bridges are being built with donated dollars and volunteers.

WV VOAD is partnering with disaster response agencies, state and local officials, federal agencies, and business to efficiently coordinate volunteers, equipment and materials to build bridges at no cost to the families.
