Convoy of Care: Here's how you can help victims of Hurricane Florence

Help Action News Jax collect bottled water for the victims of Hurricane Florence by donating to our Convoy of Care. This relief effort will send bottles of water to areas hit the hardest - and we need your help to make it possible. 
You can still drop off bottled water at the Salvation Army of NE FL's Adams Street location through Sunday. The water will be shipped to the flood ravaged Carolinas early next week. 
Thursday, many people from the community met up with the Action News Jax team, 
News 104.5 WOKV, HOT 99.5, 95.1 WAPE, X106.5 and Power 106.1 to help the flood-ravaged communities of the Carolinas. The community filled two trucks with bottled water donations at St. Johns Town Center. 
The effort to collect and send bottled water to the Carolinas will continue throughout the weekend.
Other key partners in making this effort work who are donating their services are:
