SERVICE LEAGUE OF MORGANTOWN

2025 is a CELEBRATORY year- the 90th Anniversary of Service League of Morgantown & the 230th Anniversary of our historic landmark, the Old Stone House.

The Old Stone House is owned and maintained by the Service League of Morgantown.  Founded in 1935, Service League of Morgantown’s mission has been to give back to their local community to improve the lives of local citizens through charitable, educational and cultural activities. In its 90 years of existence, the league has contributed over $470,944 back to the Morgantown community, including over $26,000 to the Morgantown Public Library, and approximately $87,370 toward books for Mon
County School libraries. Since 2008, our Charity Partner Program has donated a grand total of $70,127 to local non-profits. The Old Stone House was built around 1795 and is the oldest stone dwelling in the county. It is listed on the National Historic Registry.

The organization accepts new members, which are nominated by the existing members in the spring . Members are required to attend 1 meeting per month and work at the Old Stone House 1 or 2 times per month. Members are also asked to help with many other volunteer projects.  They also serve on one of many committees, such as Children’s Services, Retail, Community Services, Communications, Used Books, Handcraft, Staffing, History, Publicity, Events and/or House Preservation. Members can choose which service projects and committees interest them to help with at various times throughout the year. 

Each month Members are asked to contribute to Helping Hands. These are to donate items to charitable organizations such as, donations for Head Start Children, Project Mushroom, Presents for Patients at Sundale Nursing Home, Prizes for Sundale Bingo, Birthday in a bag for Catholic Charities, Undie Mondays for Christian Help, and Baby Needs for Scotts Run Settlement House. 

The Gift Shop is open year round and features many local and handcrafted items.  All sale proceeds support and finance the League’s community outreach services. League members staff the Gift Shop daily as volunteers; there are no paid employees.

Charity Partner Program

Service League’s active membership selected these organizations to partner with and each will receive 10% of the gift shop’s gross sales.
