“We are so thankful to the Jessie Ball duPont Fund for providing match funding this holiday season. Their support will help us ensure Boys Home continues to be a safe and supportive place for all of our students,” Boys Home Executive Director Donnie Wheatley said.

This year has certainly been a year of change, uncertainty, and concern. However, amid the shutdowns, masks, virtual learning, and limited activities the boys have continued to thrive. The generous support of the community makes all aspects of Boys Home possible.

For more information on how to take advantage of this donation match, please call Sandra Scruggs at 540-965-7715 or visit the Boys Home website at www.boyshomeofva.org.
