When local talk radio host Michael Agnello heard about the
flooding in Mingo County, he knew he had to step up and help out.
"I talked to people who hadn't realized how terrible it is," he
said. "I said, 'We've got to do something.'"
The 58Live host, Agnello, wanted to use his access to the public
to call on people for help. He worked with others at West Virginia
Radio Corp. to plan a "Circle of Hope" drive along with the
Salvation Army.
