Nearly $ 30 gathered for flood victims in the two Virginias

Bluefield, W.Va. (WVVA) – WVVA and the Salvation Army in Mercer County continue to take donations for flood recovery efforts in the two Virginias.

So far, over $ 28,000 has been collected to help those affected by last month’s floods. Most donated money was collected because of the members of the community who donated as guests who sang during the WVVA Telethon on March 8th.

Donations are still necessary and accepted. All the money collected from donations are used to provide meals, as well as to help people with financial needs as they recover.

“With about three weeks in the situation, everything dies. People begin to return to their routine and then people were left without more resources. It is essential to do things as we do now to continue the work and progress of healing the damage of our area, ”said Sergeant Melissa White with the Salvation Army in Mercer County.
