Our conversation for The Valley Business Today - Luray/Page County edition - with Edison Emmons from Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce featured Justin Horn, Executive Director for Page One of Page County.
Justin explained the services they offer, the history of the organization, and the other nonprofits that have spawned from Page One. He talked about the huge need within Page County. He encouraged listeners to support the organization in multiple ways that included volunteering, donating food, donating items to their thrift stores, as well as monetary donations that help them assist residents in a variety of situations.

Page One has been serving the Luray/Page County community since 1977. They were organized by individuals and churches who had compassion for meeting the human needs in the community. To fund their family assistance program, they operate three thrift stores - two in Luray and the other in Shenandoah. The income from these stores and financial contributions by churches, businesses, and individuals allow Page One the means to provide those essential services to needy families. The sale items are donations from estates and yard sales including clothes, household goods, books, toys, furniture, and jewelry. Follow the thrift stores on Facebook.
In 1979 the Page One Board of Directors approved a location in the southern end of Page County to help serve needy families in that area. They also service clients with financial assistance (rent, water, fuel, and electricity) as well as a food pantry.
