You can help us help flood victims by dropping off supplies. Victims need drinking water, bleach, cleaning supplies and non-perishable food items. At this time no clothing is needed.

Drop off any of these items at our Eyewitness News studios in Charleston and Huntington or at any local Kroger Store.

Kinder said many of the softball players were most likely affected by the flooding, which would make it difficult for them to play in a sectional or regional tournament.

Donations of needed items are being collected at all Mingo and Logan County fire departments. Cleaning supplies, water, canned foods and other items are being collected. The Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert and the Rev. Bill Snodgrass Community Center in Varney (the former Varney Grade School) are also collecting items and distributing them to the victims. The LJHCC is also giving tetanus shots.

Many area churches are also collecting items for the flood victims.

For more information on drop-off points for donations, call 304-235-8551.

Mingo County Flood Update WILLIAMSON, W.Va. – Monday, May 18, 2009

Church groups and other volunteer organizations will soon be arriving to assist victims of the May 9 flooding in southern Mingo County.

The Mingo County Commission (MCC) and Office of Emergency Services (OES) Director Jarrod Fletcher report that anyone interested in receiving assistance with cleaning their property should sign up at the disaster relief center servicing their area.

The telephone numbers for the centers are as follows:

Matewan Town Hall – (304) 426-4092
Varney Community Center – (304) 426-5070
Larry Joe Harless Center – (304) 664-2500

Officials stress that especially those who are elderly, disabled or widowed should apply for volunteer cleanup assistance. First priority will be given to these residents.

Tetanus vaccination clinics are scheduled today for people who have not yet been vaccinated. The vaccinations will be available while supplies last. The schedule is as follows:

Baisden Volunteer Fire Department – 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Wharncliffe Volunteer Fire Department – 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Beech Creek Volunteer Fire Department – 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Fletcher also wants to remind residents that the most effective manner in which to remove debris from their property is to place it by the side of the road. He stresses that piles of debris cannot block roadways, mailboxes or utility poles.

Another reminder for residents whose homes were impacted by flooding is to register their damage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as soon as possible. The numbers to call are 1 (800) 621-3362 and TTY 1 (800) 462-7585.

Donations still are being accepted at the Salvation Army's Tennessee Avenue location.

Richmond said people in the flooded areas don't want clothes right now.

Instead, what they really need most are donations of food, paper products and cleaning supplies, he said.
