GREENBRIER COUNTY, WV — June 6, 2025 — Wellspring of Greenbrier, a nonprofit
dedicated to meeting the essential needs of Greenbrier County residents, has announced the
hiring of Liz Reynolds as its new Operations Manager. The appointment comes as the
organization experiences unprecedented growth in services, outreach, and community impact.
Over the past two and a half years, Abigail and Josiah Spangler, a local couple, have assumed
leadership of Wellspring following the retirement of founders Scarlett and Fred Kellerman.
Under the Spanglers’ direction, the organization has seen a dramatic increase in meals served,
facility usage, and volunteer involvement. As Wellspring now looks ahead to a new phase of
growth—including the development of a larger facility and the launch of expanded
programs—Reynolds’ role will be vital.
“Wellspring is at a turning point,” said Abigail Spangler, Executive Director. “We’ve built strong
momentum, but sustaining and growing our services requires dedicated operational oversight.
Liz brings the perfect mix of experience, vision, and heart.”
Reynolds, who recently relocated to the area, brings a background in Anthropology from George
Washington University and nearly a decade of experience leading volunteer initiatives,
managing daily nonprofit operations, planning community events, and supporting underserved
populations. Her leadership will allow the Spanglers to focus more fully on facility planning,
resource development, and expanding healthcare access through a new nurse-led outreach
initiative.
“Even in her first few weeks, Liz has shown she’s exactly what Wellspring needs to grow to the
next level,” said Josiah Spangler, General Manager. “We’re dreaming big—and now we have
the capacity to bring those dreams to life.”
Outside of work, Reynolds enjoys gardening, hiking, and playing with her dogs, and looks
forward to deepening her connection to the Greenbrier County community.
