Contacting the Office by Phone

Due to a switch in phone systems to improve service, the WVU Kanawha County Extension Office will be using a temporary phone number for incoming calls until the original number is ported over to the new system. Automatic forwarding may take effect within a few days; you may find it faster, however, to directly dial the temporary number, which is (260) 443-7178. This will be the direct line to the extension office until further notice. We anticipate a change back to the regular phone number with in a few weeks. Calls made to the (304) 768-1202 phone number will receive a message directing them to dial the new 260 number.
