The Gulf Coast: How you can help

Georgia's Campaign for Change announced yesterday that it will begin accepting non-perishables and other materials at its 31 statewide offices this week in an effort to assist families affected by Hurricane Gustav.

Local residents are encouraged to bring non-perishables such as canned food, bottled water, first-aid supplies and other materials that may help people in the wake of the storm to their local Campaign for Change office. The supplies will be brought to the Atlanta headquarters later in the week and distributed to aid foundations to be delivered to families in need.
