Donate Goods for Tornado Victims at Atlantic Station

Atlantic Station is collecting items Monday, May 2, to aid victims of the recent tornados in north Georgia and Alabama.

From noon to 6 p.m., representatives from Atlantic Station's management team will be collecting items in Central Park. 

"Working with area charities, Atlantic Station will be taking donations of water, dry goods, clothing (underwear and socks in particular) as well as diapers, formula and other essentials," Walter Woods, spokesman for Atlantic Station, said in an email Monday.

"Residents in the affected areas have also expressed a need for tarps."

Molly Maloney, spokeswoman for Atlantic Station, said a group of volunteers plans to take some of the items to Alabama on Tuesday. 

"We are also reaching out to other charities and organizations to see how we can get items to North Georgia," she said.
