Flooding and Storm Damage at Boys Home- June 2016

In June, Boys Home of Virginia was hit by two strong storms, both leaving damage in their path. On June 16, in Alleghany County, a heavy, intense wind storm swept through the area leaving trees and branches down, damage to houses and buildings, and thousands without power. A week later, on June 23, Boys Home was in the path of a storm that brought heavy downpours and flooding waters to the area. Boys Home, fortunately, had no damage to buildings during the wind storm and was not among the hardest hit areas during the flooding. However, we have sustained damage to several parts of the campus that will require extensive repairs.

“God Bless the Children”

Boys Home is thankful to the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) in the Diocese of Southern Virginia for blessing our graduating seniors with a love offering through the “God Bless the Children” project. Nancy Sands, president of the ECW for Southern Virginia, joined us for the 2016 Awards Banquet to present the seniors with their gift.
