Local Food and Water Drive to Support Flood Victims, Roanoke Mayoral Forum Aftermath, and a Flower Shop Moving Downtown

In today’s episode, we cover the upcoming food and water drive at the Salem Civic Center to aid those affected by recent storms in the New River Valley. WFIR and our sister stations are proud to sponsor the event, with Feeding Southwest Virginia asking for donations of bottled water and non-perishable foods. We also highlight ongoing disaster relief collections, the relocation of a local flower shop, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new event space. Plus, a look at the Virginia Lottery’s latest sports wagering report and details on the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation’s pub crawl fundraiser.
