With the devastating impact of Hurricane Florence on families in North Carolina, Talk Williamsport 92.7 FM/1050 AM and News Talk 104.1 & 1600 WEJS have launched a relief effort.
The relief effort is made possible by the generosity of Wagner Trucking in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania providing a tractor trailer and driver.
Beginning this Thursday, September 20th at 10 a.m. the trailer will be parked in the Beiter’s Furniture, Mattress and Appliance parking lot and stay that day until it is filled.
Donations of items can be made by dropping them off anytime during the day and suggestions of items of greatest need are listed below.
“As we did two years ago in the wake of Hurricane Matthew the people of Lycoming and surrounding counties adopted Lenoir County, North Carolina and delivered more that 40,000 pounds of relief supplies,” according to Todd Bartley, Managing Member of Talk Williamsport 92.7 FM/1050 AM and News Talk 104.1 & 1600 WEJS.
Talk Williamsport 92.7 FM/1050 AM and News Talk 104.1 & 1600 WEJS will be broadcasting live from the Beiter’s parking lot all day in support of the relief effort.
If people want to volunteer to go to North Carolina this weekend to assist in flood clean up there will also be a sign-up sheet and details provided on how to assist.
Businesses, if you have a pallet ready to put on the truck we have the equipment on site Thursday to move it from your truck to the relief truck. Please have it shrink wrapped for transportation purposes.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in the worthwhile effort and the great partnerships that have been forged through tough times. – Todd Bartley, Managing Member of Talk Williamsport 92.7 FM/1050 AM and News Talk 104.1 & 1600 WEJS on behalf of the families of Lenoir County North Carolina.
