How was school?” can sometimes get us a one-word answer

These are some of our favorite conversation starters to help kids open up a little more after the school day.

Sometimes the best conversations happen when we ask different questions

Updates on summer EBT.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services’ Bureau for Family Assistance needs to clarify an error that appeared on our website regarding Summer EBT benefit distribution.

The May 24, 2026, issuance date was incorrect and did not reflect the actual timing for benefit distribution.

Summer EBT benefits are expected to be issued on June 1, 2026.

We understand this has caused confusion and concern, and we apologize for the error.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, foster moms, bonus moms, caregivers, and mother figures in our community. 💙

Today is a reminder of just how much love, strength, patience, and care mothers pour into others every single day. Parenting can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I hope every mom knows how valued and appreciated she truly is.

We are especially thankful for the families and caregivers we’ve had the privilege of connecting with through Mountain State Parents CAN. Watching parents continue to show up for their children, even on the hardest days, is something that inspires us constantly.

Wishing you all a peaceful, joy-filled Mother’s Day
