"For Goodness Sake....Amy's Attic"
 

In 1934, Amy Roberts Vance decided to develop an organization that would maintain projects to help families of Harrison County. This was the start of the Clarksburg League For Service.

With the vision of Amy going to her attic in the 1930's to gather needed goods to help families, the members of today felt For Goodness' Sake - Amy's Attic was the appropriate title for its 2005 debuting project to continue this philanthropy.

Amy's Attic supplies needed goods for children and families who might

otherwise not be able to obtain. New and nearly new household items, baby items, career wear, formale attire, jeans and school supplies are the top items at Amy's Attic.

The League fundraises to purchase new items and also collects nearly new items from it's members and community donations. All donations to Amy's Attic are tax deductible.

The Clarksburg League For Service partners with schools and social service agencies to obtain referrals to be served.
