A local church and business are asking for help from the public to provide much-needed flood relief to residents of West Virginia.
Pastor Dave West of Graceway Community Church told our newsroom, “Right now, it’s a lot of clean-up going on. People have lost their homes. There are needs there for cleaning supplies, fresh water, pillows, blankets, toilet paper, some paper products and paper-towels.”
Graceway is teaming up with The Butler Hotdog Shop to collect the items in a marked trailer that will be parked at Sam’s Club in Butler Township all day on Saturday.
The group plans to take the collected supplies down to a university in West Virginia for distribution next weekend to those in need.
“A lot of people doing a little something is going to fill the trailer. We have a relationship now with a church down there that has directed us to go to the university because a lot of the back roads are washed out so they can’t be traveled. It’s not like we can just go to a community somewhere. especially when we don’t know the roads.”
If people would like to make a money donation, volunteers who will be with the trailer will accept money and use it to buy more needed supplies.
