Challenge West Virginia

February 4, 2012

Challenge West Virginia is a statewide organization of parents, educators and other West Virginians committed to maintaining and improving small community schools. Our goal is to reform education in the Mountain State so that citizens have a voice in policy decisions and every child has the opportunity to receive a first-class education and the promise of a bright future.

CLOTHING VOUCHERS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS

The Department of Health and Human Resources is accepting applications for school clothing vouchers for low-income families.

The $200 vouchers must be used at participating stores by Oct. 31.

While families that receive WV Works cash assistance and children in foster care get vouchers automatically, DHHR says others must apply by July 31.

Applications can be submitted to the agency’s Division of Family Assistance. Applications can be obtained by contacting the DHHR at 1-877-716-1212 or at https://www.wvinroads.org

To qualify, a family must meet income guidelines.
