WPER/Fredericksburg listeners filled a 16-foot trailer with gloves, hats, coats, and blankets destined for impoverished parts of Appalachia in Eastern Kentucky. In all, more than 3,500 pieces of warm winter gear were collected, said Frankie Morea, General Manager.
“We are delighted that our listeners are so generous and so glad these much needed items will be put to good use,” Morea added.
The items were collected at a variety of locations throughout the WPER listening area, which stretches from Richmond to the outskirts of Washington, DC. Hope For Appalachia will be distributing the donations through schools in a nine-county area where many families are in need this winter, said Pastor Mike Dodson, coordinator of the organization.
“We are so thankful for WPER,” Dodson added. “They are an amazing partner and these donations are going to really help people this winter.”
