The nor'easter that blew through Hampton Roads is gone, but charities are still feeling the effects.
Coming at the start of the holiday giving season, the storm forced the Salvation Army to pull its kettles and bell ringers off the streets until it passed.
With demand for services already increasing and donations already dropping, Maj. Kim Feinauer says the storm took an even greater toll.
He's had to trim back earlier goals of raising $250,000 this year, as so far just $6,000 has been raised on the Peninsula.
At the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula, families affected by the storm got roughly 6,000 pounds worth of meals even as non-storm-related need is spiking.
