Been on the ground today in those areas most affected by the flood in Cherokee county. Local needs have been our first priority. I was able to give away some food and gift cards to families in need as well as evaluate the true situations of the calls we received. I’m happy to say that from all the resources gathered that the need for immediate assistance in Cherokee county is low. Those that I met that are in some need are making it with the help of neighbors and other support from friends and family, which is awesome. There are five families as of today that are still looking for shelter for an indefinite amount of time. If you are interested in meeting this need contact GTN immediately and we will go from there.
Many of you are local and are looking to help and wanting to donate supplies. And since GTN is about connecting people like you to the community of need we are expanding our search for the need to downtown Atlanta. We are attempting right now to partner with a local city church that is organizing and mobilizing for flood victims (video below). So feel free to contact me for donations of all supplies: clothes, toiletries, food, etc. We will be gathering them and taking them to the church in the city. I also hope to give you more volunteer opportunities as I meet and evaluate the needs in the city. голова болит ÑекÑ
