CENTRAL OHIO (WCMH) — Water. Cleaning supplies. Toys for children.

Ohio businesses, churches and community leaders have been collecting these items and more since deadly floods swept through West Virginia a week ago. On Saturday morning, those collected items were delivered by some of the community efforts created to aid the flood recovery.

“We just want to bring some hope to them right now,” said Christopher White, a student pastor with Victory Hill Church in Fairfield County. “I know they’re going through a lot. So we want to try and bring some happiness and hope inside of a really troubled situation.”

White and his church left before sunrise, hoping to deliver the needed items as soon as possible.

Danielle Bay’s efforts were to help family members she had living just a few hours south of her hometown in Grove City.

“We have been affected with floods before, know what it’s about,” she said. “These people down there, they’ve lost a lot. A lot of them have lost everything.”

Emergency officials have confirmed 21 people were killed in the flooding, according to the Associated Press. Two other people have also been reported missing and are presumed dead since the floods struck.

State road officials have estimated the flooding caused about $36 million in damages to roadways in 18 counties.What others are clicking on:
