2026 Flood & Storm Relief
West Virginia communities are facing devastating flooding and damage following storms on July 21-22, 2026. Homes and businesses have been damaged, roads and bridges have been washed out, and emergency responders continue to work in communities across the state. Some areas remain difficult or impossible to access, and the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
If you need help or want to help those affected, we’ve compiled resources for both in one place.
We will continue updating these resources as more information becomes available. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted and with the first responders, emergency personnel and volunteers working across our state.
The West Virginia Chamber Foundation is committed to helping communities impacted by these harsh conditions, and we need your help. Your contributions are crucial for making a meaningful difference.
Email Kathy Thomas at [email protected] to make a monetary donation to the West Virginia Chamber Foundation. Please call 304-342-1115 if you have any questions.
