Global Soap Project

The Global Soap Project is a non-profit organization that recovers and recycles soap from U.S. hotels that would otherwise end up in landfills. The soap is sorted, melted and remolded into new bars to be distributed to vulnerable populations around the world such as refugees, orphans and disaster victims. Stonewall Resort is currently the only West Virginia hotel or resort to contribute used soap to this foundation. For more information, click here.
