MACON, Ga. During these hot Central Georgia summers, everybody needs to hydrate, including the folks staying at Macon-Bibb s Brookdale Warming Center.
County commissioners recently challenged people to donate water to the homeless shelter.
Mayor Pro tem Seth Clark and Commissioner Al Tillman said they would match every water bottle donated to the center.
Clark says the shelter has already helped hundreds of people.
That s 600 lives that this county has touched, 600 lives that our staff and volunteers have touched and saved, and we have to remember why this started. It started because two poor souls were lost on Christmas Day due to inclement weather, said Clark.

MACON, Ga. On Thursday, Bibb County Sheriff David Davis announced the ending to a 40-week sting, Operation United Front. We have some pistols, we have some long guns, but this is the type of weapons we have that are plaguing not only our community, but other communities throughout our country.
The goal? To get illegal guns off the streets. We hope that some of the individuals that we ve arrested in this, maybe we ve stopped them from doing some violent activities, he says.
