Metro Atlanta residents have a way to help neighbors recovering from flooding in north Georgia.
WSB-TV announced a Convoy of Care collection for communities in Fannin and Gilmer counties, working with Caring for Others, law enforcement and transportation partners.
According to the station’s November 9 report, donations will be accepted Wednesday, November 11, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Requested items include cleaning supplies, nonperishable food, personal-hygiene kits and new blankets.
The published collection locations include WSB-TV at 1601 West Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta and Cobb Civic Center at 548 South Marietta Parkway SE in Marietta. Additional locations are listed in the station’s announcement.
The effort also has a delivery update: an initial truckload of supplies is scheduled to reach McCaysville on Saturday, November 14, for distribution to impacted residents.
Affected households should follow the organizers for confirmed distribution details.
Readers should check the station’s latest notice before traveling, since collection and distribution arrangements can change.
For people wondering how to make a useful contribution, the organizers have provided a focused shopping list. New blankets and basic household supplies are everyday items that can become urgent needs after a flood.
Atlanta residents can help by bringing requested items to a collection site.
