Several members of the community have helped to transform the old J.C. Penney’s in Hazard into a one-stop shop for flood victims to establish a more long-term drop-off and pickup site for flood relief donations.

In as little as 24 hours, the old J.C. Penney’s building was turned into a powerhouse for donations, offering anything from hygiene items to pet supplies

This location has seen several volunteers from all over the country, from California and Tennessee, and a Louisville based female biker group has also lend a helping hand by dropping off donations.

The donation site was opened to the public at 10:00 a.m. Monday. The center is operated by ARH and staffed by volunteers.

Anyone seeking items will need to tell volunteers how many people live in their household and  they will be assisted by volunteers while picking out the items they need.

Officials stated that the donation site is in need of heavy-duty cleaning supplies, air conditioning units or fans, heavy-duty cleaning supplies, and some extra helping hands to help with distribution.
