SOLACE may also be available to respond to requests for in-kind donations in other areas of South Georgia, including replacing office supplies and equipment, if they can secure:
- A location for donations to be dropped off and picked up.
- A local area point of contact to coordinate donations.
- Persons available to transport donations to South Georgia.

*SOLACE is a network of individuals within the legal community who are willing to consider providing nonmonetary assistance to help lawyers and other members of the legal community who need support because of a sudden catastrophic event such as illness, injury, fire or natural disaster. It is administered through the State Bar of Georgia.
