On Thursday, June 23, in West Virginia, 9 inches of rain fell in 6 to 8 hours, resulting in devastating floods. 26 people were killed, and over 1,200 homes were damaged or destroyed.
Midwest Food Bank, a Salvation Army First Responder, was called on to provide aid. 5 semi loads of disaster relief boxes and bottled water have been sent from MFB’s Bloomington, Peoria, and Indianapolis warehouses. MFB Peachtree City, GA, sent a shipment of hygiene kits.
Midwest Food Bank keeps loaded disaster relief boxes packed and ready to ship. They can be on the road within 24 hours of a call.
Along with these photos of the devastation, you’ll see Bob and Christine Adcock, volunteers who took a semi load of relief to VW.
