A local group of volunteers is helping out the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Beverly Ridley and a friend thought they would get a few items and take a pick up truck to deliver donations, but the drive transformed and now the group is filling a semi truck.

For the last three days the volunteers have been collecting canned goods, cleaning, pet and baby supplies.

If you would like to help you can drop off donations today from 9am-5pm at the former gas station across from Meijer on E. Wooster street in Bowling Green.
