The Suwannee County sheriff and emergency management officials delivered loads and loads of food and home supplies to Franklin County Thursday morning.

They'd been holding a food drive for the past several weeks to help local seafood workers and their families.

Franklin County officials say about 3,000 people were put out of work when freezing temperatures and flooding closed the Apalachicola Bay in December.

Officials say they have to do inventory of all of the donated items before distributing them.

Franklin County officials say they are grateful for Suwannee County's assistance.
