The above image is what employees of our Atlanta-area office saw when they looked across the road a couple of weeks ago. Normally they would see a little league baseball field, but on this particular day it was a lake instead.

The floods that occurred in Atlanta two weeks ago displaced hundreds of people, many of whom lost everything in the flood. Relief agencies kicked into high gear collecting school supplies and clothes for the flood victims. When Julia Flattes, an InternetSafety.com employee, was dropping off clothes at the Paulding County flood center, she noticed that the center was badly in need of buckets of cleaning supplies that people needed to get their lives back to normal.

Julia spread the idea around and soon other employees were contributing to a bucket fund that was used to create “flood buckets�. These buckets contain practically everything a family would need to begin the massive clean-up typically required after a flood.

InternetSafety.com has been helping families online for more than a decade, and we were glad to be able to help offline as well.

Flooding remains a threat in the Atlanta area as rain continues to fall across the Southeast. To find out how to donate your own bucket of supplies, visit the paulding county flood relief web site.
