BECKLEY -
You have two chances to help people in need RIGHT NOW in our area. First, The United Way of Southern West Virginia's Food for Thought campaign is used a unique stunt to attract attention to fill its delivery truck with non perishable food. Executive Director of United Way Margaret 'Oneal spent the day on top of the roof of a truck at John Eye Big Sandy Superstore.
"Our food pantries are always in need and this year is especially critical than normal from the storm in June and July. It caused a lot of people to lose food from the power outages and then from last week with the blizzard. We are finding that more and more of our food pantries are really struggling," she said.
Not only can you donate to those in need here in West Virginia affected by Super Storm Sandy, but you can also donate to those in need up on the East Coast.
"Just helping the people in New York City that need help. You know, it's home. Just as much home as this," said Coordinator of Project Sandy Earl Long.
Mr. Long and those volunteers of Project Sandy have already distributed items up to the East Coast a few days ago, and are packing up and ready to go back again tomorrow. He said those receiving the donations are not only desperate for more, but are very thankful for the efforts of those who donate.
"The graciousness of the people there, just how they stand in line for hours and hours at a time. They were totally overwhelmed that two people who didn't know them would show up just to help out," said Long.
