In Shepherdstown, the Welsh family received overwhelming community support after the loss of their Kearneysville home to a fire in September. A fundraiser held at King's Pizza, organized by the Shepherdstown Centennial Lions Club, brought together hundreds of local residents on October 28. The event successfully raised $725 through donations and part of pizza sales, with the club contributing an additional $275, totaling $1,000 to aid the family's rebuilding efforts. This outpouring of help underscores the strong community spirit in the area.
