Charity Nominations

2022-2023: Carol’s Chaffin Luhana Foundation charity donation for the past two (2) years was to Light of Life Rescue Mission, Pittsburgh. Carol was inspired to choose Light of Life Rescue Mission after she saw a piece on the news highlighting the organization’s efforts to help those who are homeless.

2021: Carol nominated Wheeling Collation for Homelessness. She chose this organization after she met a lady, named Sally, with all of her belongings in a shopping cart, who was homeless, and her story was very memorable. 

2020: Carol nominated The Lighthouse at Change, Inc. This organization is a women’s shelter with several locations in West Virginia at which Carol both interned and volunteered. 

2019: Carol nominated Yellow Ribbon Girls. Operated by all volunteers, the donations are used to purchase much-needed supplies and postage to send care packages to deployed soldiers.
