Ike City, a business conglomerate, has joined the growing list of donors to the Mepe flood victims by donating items worth several thousand cedis to those affected.
The items included bags of long-grain perfumed rice, bags of sachet water and bails of second-hand clothes and detergents.
CEO of the Afienya-based business company, Isaac Ofori Amoako, mentioned that the worrying videos of houses submerged in water due to the Akosombo Dam spillage stirred him to support the affected victims.
"Indeed, this is very worrying and like the biblical saying 'if you do it for your neighbour, you have lent it to God', management thought it prudent to rally support for our Voltarian brethren," he said after the donation on Tuesday.
"It is our widow's mite, but we believe it will go a long way to support the affected victims. We may come again, seeing it on video is different from what we are witnessing now. We are really touched," he added.
The Ike City boss appealed to other corporate organisations to support those affected.
MP for the area, Okudzeto Ablakwa, who received the items expressed appreciation to the CEO and company for the kind gesture.
