🚨UPDATE:
To provide more privacy, the shelter has moved to Colebank Hall Gym. The American Red Cross is on-site with cots, blankets, food, and hygiene supplies. All flood-displaced individuals are welcome.
To ensure the shelter operates smoothly and that the needs of those staying with us are met efficiently, we kindly ask that donations not be delivered directly to Colebank Gym. Instead, please coordinate all donations through our trusted partners at Tygart Valley United Way.

Attention Marion County Residents:
Marion County has established an emergency shelter in Colebank Gym, in partnership with Fairmont State University. The American Red Cross has coordinated the delivery of food, clothes and hygiene items. Cots, blankets, towels and warm showers are available to any county resident who has been displaced due to today’s devastating flooding.
Special thanks to our own cast of MaMa Mia who stopped their 9-hr. tech rehearsal to deliver donated snacks and cases of water. Supporting our community is key to our community arts program and the entire Fairmont State Family.
The United Way will coordinate all donations. We will post information as it becomes available. For today, please help us spread the word that emergency shelter is available. All those needing help are encouraged to find shelter with us on campus.
