Visit the Visitors Center website for an introduction to all that is available to you in Shepherdstown.

Every year Shepherdstown Street Fest names two non-profit charities, one regional and one local, that benefit from our proceeds. For 2013, we are proud and excited to announce that our regional non-profit is Bethany House (Community Networks, Inc.) – CNI is a private, nonprofit organization serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties. It provides an emergency safety net through a wide range of assistance, including transitional housing for up to 32 women and children and emergency financial assistance. Check them out here.

We are also proud to announce that our local donation will go to Good Shepherd Caregivers, a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization founded in 1990 serving a more caring community in Jefferson County, WV. They reach out to our older or disabled neighbors in need, filling the gaps left by formal support services.
