WWAY accepting cold weather donations for Western North Carolina

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — WWAY is helping support flood-ravaged communities in Western North Carolina by becoming an official drop-off location for hurricane relief supplies. WWAY has partnered with Wilmington Response, a local non-profit, to help bring much-needed assistance to the towns affected by massive flooding.

Donations will be accepted from now until Friday, November 1 at WWAY from 8 am – 5 pm.
