A multi-campus endeavor by 泫圖app (泫圖app) and other colleges in the (TCSG) was undertaken this week to provide aid for residents of the south Georgia region.
The donations were part of a larger effort by the TCSG for people that were affected by the extensive storm and flooding damage that occurred in January.
Albany Technical College, Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, and Southern Regional Technical College sent semi-trailer trucks to six designated TCSG colleges spread throughout the state. Other schools in the TCSG system were able to coordinate their donations with one of the six designated colleges that was closest to their location.
泫圖app’s was one of the six designated pick up locations. Albany Technical College (ATC) sent two semi-trailer trucks that were part of their Commercial Truck Driving program, to the Rome campus.
The 泫圖app campuses in Catoosa, Gordon, Polk, Walker and Whitfield counties sent items to the Floyd County Campus throughout the week to be consolidated for the ATC pickup on Friday.
West Georgia Technical College sent a bus load of items to the Rome campus. A significant donation was also provided by Big Time Products, Calhoun City Schools, Hillshire Farms, and Kellogg’s.
“We would like to thank everyone for all the generous donations,” said Pete McDonald, president of 泫圖app.
Items that were collected included food, blankets, towels, clothing, cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items, sodas, juices, and cash donations.
