Around here, doing good isn’t just something people talk about. It’s something we actually do. Neighbors check in on each other, volunteers jump in to serve meals, and local musicians donate their talents to make a difference. In this region, showing up for one another is just what we do.
And we get creative about it. From community dinners to benefit concerts, generosity often comes wrapped in music, laughter, and shared purpose. Helping hands and open hearts are never in short supply throughout the Valley and surrounding areas.
A perfect example? Greenbrier Valley’s Greatest Hits, an upcoming musical fundraiser supporting Saturday of Service (SOS), a local nonprofit feeding neighbors across the Valley and beyond. Local artists, community sponsors, and supporters are coming together for one unforgettable evening where entertainment meets impact.
Below are the full event details as provided by organizers:

Saturday of Service (SOS), a 501c3 non-profit based at Edgewood Presbyterian Church, provides an opportunity to live the Gospel message that in serving others, we are serving Jesus. Free monthly meals are provided to those with limited incomes, seniors, those with disabilities, families with children, and to those who just need to see a smiling face. Meals are delivered to various sites in Greenbrier County and beyond, and for those with transportation, a meal can be picked up from the church. The inaugural meal was served in the fall of 2020 with 107 meals provided. Now, almost five years later, the average number of meals served each month is 850. SOS doesn’t just feed people meals. It offers opportunities to build relationships, to share hope, and to grow faith around the table. SOS addresses the physical need for food and the spiritual need for community and belonging so that recipients, as well as volunteers, can taste and see that God is good. Needless to say, as the numbers continue to grow, so does the need for increased funding. Some who receive meals do donate back to the cause, but folks are never asked to pay a fee of any kind. SOS is currently funded via donations, fundraisers, and grants. As this ministry nears the end of it’s fifth year, the need remains to focus on food insecurity within the Greenbrier Valley and beyond for anyone who needs or wants a meal.
