WSB Television has partnered with law enforcement agencies in Georgia and the nonprofit organization Caring for Others, along wit the Georgia Motor Trucking Association and other nonprofit organizations to organize disaster relief for Chattooga County.  The effort is called “Convoy of Care”.

The partnership was started in 2016 to bring relief to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2016 when devastating flooding hit the city.

“Flooding has devastated parts of northwest Georgia and there is a desperate need for water in Jackson, Mississippi,” said WSB-TV Director of Community and Public Affairs Condace Pressley. “These communities need our help, and we know the people of metro Atlanta will respond.”

“We want to get water and other relief supplies to the people who need them most this Friday,” said Clarence Cox, past president of NOBLE, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. “We are asking the community for monetary donations to buy water and other supplies ready to deliver to those communities in need,” Cox added.

The Convoy of Care will drive tractor trailer loads of water and other needed supplies to Chattooga County and will be distributed tomorrow (Friday).
