Independent Living (IL) Day at the Capitol
The West Virginia Statewide Independent Living Council along with the West Virginia Centers for Independent Living hosts the annual Independent Living (IL) Day at the Capitol. This event celebrates Independent Living programs, highlighting unmet needs, and promotes the services of the WV Independence Network (WIN).
The WIN empowers West Virginians living with disabilities through advocacy, skills training, information & referral, transition services, and peer support. The WIN centers provide resources that allow disabled West Virginians to make choices for their lives and advocate for their needs.
Share your story with legislators, advocate for independent living, and support people with disabilities. This day of educating and advocacy brings together WIN center’s staff, disability advocates, and individuals with disabilities from across the state.

The purpose of the car show is to educate first responders and the public, provide awareness, and raise money for the Community Living Services Program (CLSP) that helps people with disabilities get the vehicle modifications they need to be mobile.
The Freedom Car Show features vehicles that have been modified with adaptive equipment to help people with disabilities be mobile. However, we want all car, truck and bike enthusiasts to join us. If it's unique or unusual we want to see it! All years, makes, and models welcome!
