As Houston deals with the damage left behind by catastrophic flooding, people all across the metro area have reached out to lend a helping hand.
Our Convoy of Care, sponsored by WSB-TV, WSB radio, AJC, B 98.5, 97.1 The River, Kiss 104.1 and Atlanta Peach Movers, collected enough bottled water to send five full semi-trucks to help Harvey victims in Houston.
Several other organizations across the metro area are also collecting donations. Here are a few ways you can help:
