Some Roanokers are putting together a relief drive for people in West Virginia affected by a chemical spill that has contaminated the tap water in 9 counties. Southeast Roanoke resident Duane Howard is the co-organizer…he says water, juices, sanitary wipes and disposable utensils will be collected at the Metropolitan Community Church of the Blue Ridge through Saturday. Howard says they are still making arrangements on transporting the donations…check out the “Relief for West Virginia” Facebook page for more details. (story/sound from WFIR’s Gene Marrano)
