💙 **West Virginia Flood Relief Update – The Need Continues** 💙
While the devastating flooding in West Virginia is no longer making national headlines, the recovery is far from over.
Families are still cleaning out homes, removing debris, replacing essential belongings, and taking the first difficult steps toward rebuilding their lives. That's why **Swatara Township** is proud to continue partnering with **Operation Light Of Hope – Disaster Relief** to bring hope and practical assistance to those who need it most.
Our team remains in close contact with local officials and residents in the affected communities, and the message is clear: **they still need our help.**
