"We think that all of this community and the folks that live here have big hearts. We know they're thinking about the folks in Florida," said Church Pastor Luke Farwell. "We want to make sure we shine a light on this time of darkness for folks who are really struggling. This is one way we can help them remember that they're not alone."

The church's drive continues through Saturday.
