Community Canteen Boosts Flood Relief Efforts in Meigs County
In Meigs County, the Red Cross canteen near City Hall ran Friday night and Saturday morning relief operations. Donations flowed from Martin Restaurant in Middleport, and Tiny’s Supermarket provided sandwiches. Local groups including Rotary, 4-H, and Sew-Rite Sewing Club organized volunteers and food preparation. Blood runs faced logistics with five units needed for Meigs Memorial Hospital, requiring trips to Gallipolis and Huntington. Notable attendees included Lucy Amsbury and June Van Vranken with several club members assisting throughout the relief effort.
