After it was ravaged by the devastating Hurricane Maria, most of Puerto Rico is still without power, while food, water and fuel are scarce, according to various reports.
In Alpharetta, students at a local high school and the surrounding community are trying to do their part in helping the victims of Maria.
On Wednesday, Alpharetta High School started collecting cases of bottled water to send to Puerto Rico. The donation effort will continue through Friday.
