Humanitarian Flood Relief Drive For Funds And Supplies
It happened during Mother's Day weekend less than two weeks ago...a devastating flood hit east Kentucky and southern West Virginia. And now, the recovery effort is in full swing. Tuesday East Kentucky Broadcasting and Food City locations in Pikeville and South Williamson conducted a flood relief radiothon. The generosity of area residents and businesses was tremendous. Tractor trailers were strategically placed in Pikeville and South Williamson and donations of non-perishable food, cleaning supplies and equipment, personal hygiene items and disinfectant products poured in. Cash was also mentioned during the broadcast, and, almost immediately, an anonymous donation of $5,000 was given at the South Williamson location. Generous, open heart giving was needed, and the response was another example of the empathy and concern people of this area show toward their friends in need.
