Community kindness

OHIO VALLEY — For the past three years, Ohio Valley Bank branches in Gallia County have partnered with the Body of Christ Community Outreach Ministry’s Gallia County Community Christmas Project to spearhead an annual effort to fill a tractor trailer with gifts for the area’s less fortunate. According to bank representatives, the BCCOM provides a list of area kids and families to be sponsored. This list is compiled in the city and county school districts. OVB sponsored 154 individuals this year, and bank representatives point to area local business owners for making the drive so successful. OVB is very active in Gallia, Meigs and Mason County charitable fundraising efforts all year round.
