The Common Ingredient NRV

The Common Ingredient of the New River Valley realizes that thousands of people need help in the wake of the devastation Hurricane Helene caused. Here in the New River Valley Giles County neighbors need help. Many people who live along the New River in Narrows, Virginia, have lost their homes due to the historic flooding of that river. Leisa Powell of the Giles County Christian Service Mission said that money to relocate these people is desperately needed. 

If you can, please send checks to:  

  • Giles County Christian Service Mission,

  • 512 Wenonah Ave., Pearsburg,

  • VA 24134. Phone: 540-921-3006,

    Leisa Powell, Director.
    In the Memo write flood relief housing.

We realize that the needs of Hurricane Helene victims are overwhelming. Please help in any way you can. This is so close to home.
