The West Virginia State Bar

3 days ago

As we head into the holiday season, we are especially thankful for this month’s More Than a Lawyer nominee, Jennifer Mason, for her quick response to an urgent need at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. *********************March 2020 was a scary and uncertain time for everyone as people around the world began to see and feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It quickly became clear that the many isolated seniors and restaurants around the state needed special assistance, and Jennifer Mason stepped up to provide it. Jennifer started the Feeding Seniors/Saving Businesses program as a way to connect these seniors with meals provided by local area restaurants that were closed down. Over an eight-week period, the Feeding Seniors/Saving Businesses program reached more than 700 seniors and helped keep 8 local restaurants in business in the communities served by the program — Alderson, Lewisburg, White Sulphur Springs, Frankford, Renick, Rainelle, Orient Hill, Charmco, Fairlea, Ronceverte and Williamsburg.Jennifer partnered with the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine’s Center for Rural and Community Health (WVSOM CRCH) to establish a hotline to accept calls from those who needed meals, groceries or pharmacy items delivered to their homes. Those who enrolled in the program received evening meals three days a week, which were delivered by local volunteers and community members. This led to several other community outreach programs in the area, including prepaid grocery delivery, canned food drives, and provision of meals for volunteers in the vaccine clinics. “This is a beautiful collaboration that creates a safety net for our seniors as they deal with the isolation imposed as a result of COVID-19,” Sally Hurst, WVSOM’s CRCH director of outreach programs, said of the program. “It’s also a lifeline to help seniors and those in need feel less alone.”One local senior said that although she was in good health and able to shop, her children had advised her to stay inside due to the current need for social distancing. “It’s a wonderful thing they’re doing,” the 79-year-old participant said of the program. “It not only keeps me from having to go to the store, but I didn’t have to wash dishes. It makes life just a little easier during a difficult time, and for those seniors who are in poor health or have no way of getting out, it’s truly a blessing. It’s an example of why it’s great to live in West Virginia, a place where everybody chips in to help when it’s needed the most.”The list of individuals and organizations who stepped up to help seems to go on forever. Jennifer said that while she was overwhelmed by all of the people who reached out to donate, she was not surprised. “That’s how Greenbrier County is; when there’s a need, people will rise to the occasion.”Jennifer currently practices law at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP in Lewisburg, WV where she represents clients in construction, insurance, corporate and commercial litigation, and appellate matters in federal and state courts in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Jennifer was nominated by Jami Cooper of Cooper Law Offices, PLLC.Thank you, Jennifer, for being More Than a Lawyer!*********************What is our MoreThanALawyer campaign all about?
