SUMMARY:Jefferson County Community Ministries
DESCRIPTION:Jefferson County Community Ministries was founded in 1983 by a group of five local churches. By banning together\, they shared a combined mission to make a lasting difference in the Jefferson County community. Our goals since our inception have stayed true to our roots with three main objectives: \n1. To enable self-sufficiency in each person we serve\n2. To empower our clients to render permanent solutions in order for them to attain personal goals\n3. To prevent homelessness in our community\, and beyond\, to the best of our ability \nBrooke Grossman is the Executive Director of JCCM\, joining the team in October 2025. She spent the last several years working as the Chief Mission Officer for Horizon Goodwill overseeing the human services\, human resources\, and training and development departments for the organization in Maryland\, Virginia\, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Brooke and her 2 youngest children moved to Charles Town from Maryland in November 2024\, her son is in 8th grade at Charles Town Middle and her daughter is a Senior at Washington High. The whole family fell in love with Jefferson County as soon as we arrived. Thanks to awesome neighbors like all of you they felt at home instantly. That is what drew Brooke to her role at JCCM a deep desire to work with such a passionate community. \nhttps://www.jccm.us/

SUMMARY:Cemetery Clean Up — Kearneysville Methodist Cemetery (Details and Map)
DESCRIPTION:Please bring: gloves\, clippers\, saws\, chainsaws\, etc. Addison is scheduling for there to be a dumpster to put the brush in. The main job is getting brush out. The cemetery is at the end of Granny Smith Lane. There isn’t a real address\, so you have to come via Stubbs Road. If people are coming from another direction and put in Granny Smith Lane\, it could take them through Rockwool‘s property. The property next to the cemetery is vacant so we are allowed to park there. Some of us will be there early\, so we’ll be able to direct people as to where to park. \nGoogle Map:

SUMMARY:Skating is On! — Frostyfest Scheduled for March 6\, 7\, 8
DESCRIPTION:Frosty Fest began as a creative idea from the Jefferson County Convention & Visitors Bureau—an effort to bring some winter energy to downtown during the typically slow retail month of January. The cornerstone of the weekend is a hot chocolate contest\, with several local restaurants competing and welcoming visitors inside to warm up and indulge. \nBut the planners wanted more—something playful\, something memorable\, something especially fun for families. \nEnter the ice rink. Skating times are: \nFriday 4-7pm\nSaturday 10-4pm\nSunday 10-4pm\n\n			\n	\n\nBehind the Market House on King Street\, an acrylic ice rink will pop up for the weekend—perfectly suited to our mild winter climate. A professional company will handle setup and breakdown\, and skates will be available for rent on site. Rotarians will be running the sign-in desk\, helping things glide along smoothly. \nDonations will be accepted at the rink and will benefit Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). All skaters (or parents/guardians) will be asked to sign a waiver. \nAnd there’s more than skating. \nWe’ve added a snack station\, complete with tables and chairs where folks can relax while waiting for their turn on the ice. Four youth organizations—Girl Scouts\, Med-Life\, Rotaract\, and Interact—will be serving donated snacks throughout the weekend. These are just small treats; the goal is still to encourage everyone to visit and support our downtown restaurants. \nThe Shepherdstown Community Club is partnering with us to help make this a truly welcoming community event. The fire department is also on board\, bringing a fire truck for kids to explore and hosting a warming fire to keep everyone cozy. \nFrostyFest Skating Reservations
