Bottled Water Donations for Newport, TN From Kisha Burton Anthony Baird, Director of Bands at Lindsey Wilson College says, "As many of you are aware, Northeast Tennessee suffered from catastrophic flooding over the weekend due to the effects of hurricane Helene. One of the hardest hit communities is the town of Newport located in Cocke County. For some context. The entire downtown area was completely flooded, entire homes and farms wiped out and, many of the roads and bridges connecting to North Carolina completely washed out. The damage done to this rural mountain community is frankly unbelievable and will take years for the people to recover. Additionally, the water treatment facility was completely destroyed. Leaving almost the entire county without access to safe water. Newport First Baptist Church pastor Richard Lloyd informs me that it could take 3 weeks or longer for the facility to be rebuilt and begin providing safe, drinkable/usable water to the community again. In response to this dire need, Lindsey Wilson SGA, Blue Raider Band, ResLife, and other Lindsey Wilson programs will collect bottled water or jugs of water this week, Tuesday through Friday, October 1 through 4, 2024, to donate to the city of Newport and Cocke County. " Water donations can be brought directly to the Blue Raider Band Building between 9amCT and 8pmCT, or the Bonner Scholars Office from 7:30pmCT to 4:30pmCT. Both buildings are on the Lindsey Wilson campus at 210 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY. Please direct any questions or inquiries to: bairda@lindsey.edu .
