LYNCHBURG, VA -- <\/p>\n
The sky is the limit at the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center, as students and the community help collect canned food items for the victims of the recent tornadoes. <\/p>\n
General Manager, Drew Sherwood, is coordinating the efforts with the organization Gleaning for the World. <\/p>\n
\"I know personally and the rest of the community feels the same way, we hope they would help us if we were in need. so we want to continue helping them out as much as possible, says Sherwood. <\/p>\n
The group is in six different states, helping victims get the most important necessity: food. The Reverend Ron Davidson is in daily contact with the volunteers on the ground, who describe the devastation as shocking. <\/p>\n
\"If you can think of an area the size of Alta Vista, Buena Vista, places that size, there were probably four or five of those communities that were wiped off the map by tornados, says Rev. Davidson. <\/p>\n
Davidson says food drives like the one at the Snowflex center has a huge impact on their efforts. <\/p>\n
\"Having canned food in particular non perishable food is what we are going to need for a long time for them, says Davidson. <\/p>\n
A little help and food goes a long way says Davidson; sharing a story about a family whose house no longer exists. <\/p>\n
\"We were able to deliver stuffed animals to the two and five year old children. And then we got food and thing in and were the only one that had come by to see he was okay. So the need is tremendous and is going to be for a long period of time, says Davidson. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
