A coalition of area churches, community organizations, and people living in Spring Valley are a part of nonprofit called the Spring Valley Community Alliance. Saturday, they gathered at the Spring Valley Community Church to collect and distribute items to people affected by January’s floods and they need your help. With the waters receding quickly from the one thousand year flood, more than 200 Spring Valley homes were heavily affected. "I love Spring Valley. And I just want to advocate for it and get people help," said Vice President of Spring Valley Community Alliance, Christopher Pierce. Saturday, Pierce and other volunteers emerged as a beacon of hope for those grappling in the aftermath of the disaster. On Bancroft Drive in Spring Valley, they are collecting new or gently used items, like washcloths, shoes, blankets, kitchenware, hygiene products, paper towels and more. They are collecting items from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Monday through Thursday and selected Saturdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. FULL STORY: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/spring-valley-nonprofit-support-flooded-neighbors/509-5480700c-0af6-43f3-80f0-5c32d9442d1a
