Columbia, SC (WLTX)- University of South Carolina Flood Relief has set up donation spots this week to collect goods like canned food, non-perishable items, cleaning supplies, and batteries for the flood victims at Louisiana State University.

Cory Alpert, the founder of the group, said he couldn't stand by and not help LSU, when so many volunteers helped out in Columbia's flood last October.

USC President Harris Pastides echoed that sentiment.

“LSU was so gracious to assist us in our time of need,” said USC President Harris Pastides. “Now it is our turn to help our SEC friends. I encourage all Gamecocks to drop off items needed for the Baton Rouge flood relief.”

USC Flood Relief is partnering with USC Athletics, and will start picking up donations Wednesday at 9 a.m. through Friday at 6 p.m., and then take the donations down to Baton Rouge Saturday in the USC Athletics Truck.

The dates and times are as follows:

Wednesday: Bi-Lo (4464 Devine Street, Columbia, SC 29205) [9 am – 1 pm]
