"Due to the fire on I-85 and the collapsed bridge, we are expecting scheduled drivers to be unable to complete all the necessary deliveries," the organization posted. "We are in critical need of extra volunteer support tomorrow, Friday, March 31, to deliver meals that are essential to our clients' well-being."

UPDATE: These volunteers answered the call

Open Hand Atlanta was founded in 1988 to serve persons dealing with HIV/AIDS and today serves a broad range of clients, including homebound seniors, the chronically ill and the dependent children of those clients. See their web site for details on how to help.

 Open Hand is located near where a section of 85 collapsed following a massive fire.
