VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Hundreds of local volunteers turned out to help Haiti this weekend. Six hundred volunteers of all ages formed an assembly line inside Kings Grant Presbyterian church in Virginia Beach.
The volunteers packed thousands of meals to ship to earthquake victims in Haiti.
"We have so much and when that happens we have so many resources and they have nothing," volunteer Jacque Camlet told WAVY.com.
"It's warm, very warm to see from the the heart, to see how people care," Haiti native Wilmina Augustin said.
So far, the volunteers have packed up more than 225,000 meals and loaded them on several trucks. The meals should be in the hands of quake victims by next week.
