The impacts of Hurricane Helene continue to be felt across the Commonwealth, especially in Southwest Virginia, where hundreds of people lost their homes and farms were destroyed. Six weeks after the storm, efforts to assist those still struggling remain ongoing.
One group of Central Virginians is working to help those affected by the hurricane.
The staff at Glen Allen Supermarket, located at 3007 Mountain Road, has partnered with Sam Tobey, a community member, to gather essential winter resources for residents in Southwest Virginia.
"These are people's livelihoods and even losing a small amount means a lot to folks down in rural areas," Tobey said.
He is collecting warm weather gear, blankets, propane, gas stoves, and practical items such as batteries, brooms, mops, canned goods, pet food, cat litter, feminine hygiene products, and shovels.
