People in the community can head up to the landscaping company located on 8900 Philips Highway between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to get the sandbags.

There is no need to bring any shovels, they have all the supplies needed to fill the bags on site.

“I know it floods a lot, especially in San Marco, and we thought we would do something to help the community,” Chris Anderson said.

Anderson is the general manager of the landscape company and says the bags will be available as long as supplies last, and if needed they will get more.
