Hi guys and gals of NESC. Just a couple of weeks ago, there was major flood that hit WV. We recently sent out a volunteer sign up link to fill out an application. We're still looking for more volunteers if your interested. We need a headcount of who's going or not. Here's the link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/16Floods
We need at least 15-30 volunteers for some of the volunteer work. Here's some of the info below I got from an E-mail:
While our communities made great progress this weekend- many needs remain unmet. Almost 4,000 of you have indicated interest in volunteering and our reception center sites have registered and placed about 1,750 volunteers into work sites in just over one week. But families and responding agencies are still indicating significant needs for extra support- and many local volunteers need to take a break or return to work. Can you sign up to help this week or this weekend?
Volunteer Reception Centers are open in Elkview, Lewisburg, and Richwood/Summersville this week. Groups and individuals can visit these locations to volunteer. For more information on flood relief visit wvflood.com.
To volunteer in Kanawha, Clay or Roane counties email or call the reception center at Elkview from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ([email protected] or 304-859-3748).
To volunteer in Greenbrier County or Nicholas County including Richwood, Rupert, Rainelle, Alderson, and White Sulphur Springs contact the reception center between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (304-808-1872 or email [email protected].)
