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 85 years of existence, the league has contributed more than $436,267 back to the Morgantown community. This includes over $50,000 to our Charity Partners, approximately $82,537 toward books for Mon County School libraries, and over $292,600 to other charitable donations throughout Monongalia County.

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.  Mandatory projects once a year are Sundale Bingo and Tea Parties, Holiday Open House, Stock and Inventory Merchandise at the Old Stone House, Kid’s Day Book Fair, They must 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 sales proceeds support and finance the League’s community outreach services.  League members staff the Gift Shop daily as volunteers; there are no paid employees.
