Home of the Greenbrier County Health Alliance, the Gwen Clingman Center is an open-concept space perfect for community events, workshops and outreach opportunities. A commercial kitchen and ADA-compliant restrooms are currently under construction at the anterior of the existing building. The GCHA will use the space for local foods initiatives that include training on nutrition and food preparation, as well as programs to combat hunger and food insecurity in the surrounding community.

In the news...The construction of the Gwen Clingman Center was documented in a Barnwood Builders’ episode on the DIY Network. Barnwood Builders, now in its eighth season, follows five fun-loving West Virginians who salvage antique log cabins and barns. The show celebrates the American pioneer spirit and pays tribute to the hard work and craftsmanship that built our nation. The series stars Lewisburg local resident and business owner Mark Bowe.
