Flood Assistance & Information Page

Southern West Virginia was struck by a devastating flood on February 15, 2025, leaving many of our families with nothing. In this time of overwhelming need, we are coming together to rebuild and heal.

If you’re able, please consider supporting our communities by sending essential items. An Amazon Wish List has been created to make it easy for anyone willing to help. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference to those who have lost so much in this area.

Thank you for keeping our community in your hearts and for your generosity during these challenging times.

The items on this Amazon Wish List will be delivered directly to the Old Kermit Gym in Kermit, WV for dispersal throughout the area.
