ABLE Families is a nonprofit, faith-based
agency founded in 1995 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wheeling. We are dedicated to empowering families in the rural Tug Valley
area of northern Mingo County, West Virginia. We
especially desire to help people caught in the net of poverty
gain more control of their lives. We focus on women and
children because they suffer most severely the effects of
poverty.
Our mission is to confront the systemic causes of poverty and,
consequently, strengthen low-income families by helping them to
make concrete changes in their lives. ABLE Families is
committed to collaboration not duplication. It is the
only agency in northern Mingo County addressing these needs.
