Cash, Not Goods Wanted for Flood Victims

Woodbridge, Va. — If you want to donate to the victims who lost their homes in Woodbridge during the floods you had better bring cash.

More than 300 people took refuge at a Red Cross shelter at Woodbridge Senior High School on Friday, and those still at the shelter have been moved to the nearby Sharon Baucom Dale City Rec Center.

Though people have wanted to make donations of food and clothing to the victims, officials say they can’t take those items.

Many generous people throughout Prince William County have contacted us to see how they can donate items to the flood victims. However, the residents have no place to store any donations currently. At this time we are asking citizens to refrain from donating food or clothing. We are working diligently to help connect residents with state, County and non-profit resources to meet their long term housing needs.
-Prince William spokesman Jason Grant

Grant suggested those who want to give do so by donating online.
