Groups partner to offer hygiene items for Augusta community

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Precious Pearls Mentoring and Purposed to Inspire spent Saturday morning passing out hygiene bags and purses filled with essential items.

This year, for the first time, the two organizations decided to join together as a way to make an even bigger impact.

“Better together. We make more of an impact when we decide to bring things together and we can create a better impact,” said Patrice Canty with Purposed to Inspire.

Leaders say they’ve noticed the need for help is not slowing down.

If you are interested in donating, the biggest need right now is for children’s jackets and blankets.

Commissioner Jordan Johnson takes oath of office for second term

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Augusta Commissioner Jordan Johnson was sworn in for a second term on Friday at the May Park Community Center.

We spoke with Johnson, who says he is looking forward to the next four years and continuing the work he has started with his district and the city.

Tackling homelessness is a priority for him and improving the Riverwalk and downtown area.

“I am not even from an attraction standpoint. What does Augusta do to support our citizens? How do we support our infrastructure? How do we support the finesse of our community? That’s what I say when I reimagine Augusta. I am not only looking for Augusta’s leaders but the people who live here and who call Augusta home,” said Johnson.

Also on Friday, Eugene “Gino” Brantley took an oath of office during a ceremonial swearing-in as the new sheriff of Augusta-Richmond County.

On Monday, Commissioner-elect Don Clark will be sworn into office.

He will serve on Bobby William’s current district 5.
