Volkswagen Donates to Help West Virginia Flood Victims

Jul 27, 2016

Many of you have heard about the devastating floods that wreaked havoc all over West Virginia earlier this month. 1,200 homes were destroyed and 23 people lost their lives. To help the families who have lost their homes and loved ones, the Volkswagen Group of American Foundation has pledged to donate $50,000 to the West Virginia Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, also known as WV VOAD. This money will help support the families and communities who are in need of shelter, food, animal care, construction aid, and many other aids. Volkswagen will also be matching any donations made by their employees to aid in disaster relief. If you’d like to make a contribution of your own, you can do so by visiting https://wvvoad.communityos.org/cms/home.
