Catholic Charities West Virginia (CCWVa) announced Toni Wiesberg as the recipient of its 2025 Charity in Action Award in Martinsburg. CCWVa will recognize Wiesberg at its Charity in Action Award Luncheon on Wednesday, October 22, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Martinsburg, West Virginia, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 pm.
“Our Charity in Action Award celebrates individuals and groups who dedicate themselves to serving others,” said CCWVa President & CEO Mark Phillips. “These honorees, like Toni Wiesberg, show how compassion and commitment can transform lives and strengthen our communities.”
Wiesberg is the founder of Faith Feeding Freedom, a nonprofit serving the homeless and hungry in Martinsburg. In 2018, while searching for her best friend’s missing granddaughter, Toni was inspired by a woman feeding people experiencing homelessness. She began volunteering and soon felt called to bring this mission to Martinsburg. Since founding Faith Feeding Freedom on November 30, 2018, Toni and her volunteers have served over 75 people every week, providing meals, clothing, hygiene items, and winter essentials, along with fellowship and prayer. Under her leadership, the organization has helped reunite families, secure housing, assist with treatment, and provide medications, all while remaining entirely volunteer-run.
“Catholic Charities West Virginia is proud to celebrate people who give so selflessly in service to others,” said Phillips. “Their work embodies the heart of our mission and the impact we can make when we care for one another.”
Tickets for the Luncheon are $50 per person and can be purchased at https://www.ccwva.org/event/cia-martinsburg-2025/ or by calling 304.905.9860.
Funds raised through the event support CCWVa’s programs and services in eastern West Virginia.
