Flood Relief Drive: Day Three

Things are picking up! We've been extremely busy these past 24 hours...and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Remember: we're still accepting donations of bleach, cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items, drinking water, diapers, shovels, trash bags, etc., at WCHS-TV on Piedmont Road. You can also purchase your items and drop them off at any Kroger location.

Here's what's happening in the next 24 hours:

• We're running a three-truck caravan (two tractor trailers and a box truck) to Mingo County beginning first thing Thursday morning. Kroger is delivering a truckload of bleach and water that we purchased wholesale with your donations. That will make up one of the loads, and your donations of supplies will make up the remainder. A big thank you goes out to Russ Shannon and the folks at S&K Transport who are providing a rig to haul one of the loads.
• This evening at the top of the 6 p.m. WCHS Eyewitness News cast, our President and CEO, Rex Whiteman, is accepting a $1,000 check from Charleston Mayor Danny Jones. That will broadcast live. Mayor Jones is challenging others to donate as well.
• Tomorrow night is Volunteer Night at Appalachian Power Park, and we'll have one of our WeFeedPeople.com box trucks at the APP for folks who want to donate. Thank yous are in order for the wonderful folks at Volunteer WV and, of course, our good friends at WCHS-TV.
• Both Bible Center Church and Maranatha Fellowship are challening their congregations to give supplies during church services on Sunday, and we'll be providing transportation to those donations on Monday.

Keep coming back here for more news and the latest developments in our emergency flood relief effort for those affected areas in Mingo County...and keep those donations coming in!
