KOKOMO, Ind. -- After being tossed around and knocked down by tornadoes, community members in Kokomo got back up.

And the best part is -- they did it together.  

Wrecked by tornado after tornado, on Sunday the residents of Kokomo were unified in their cause to help clean up their community.

At the churches, only care and kindness could be seen when members donated water, hygiene products and basic supplies to those left without any. 

"We were displaced for about three days," Kokomo resident Larinda Arnett said.  "I don't know what I would do without help. My mom is the only family I have here and it is rough."

It was a reminder for many -- that all we have is each other.

Many churches are still offering help like the Center Road Church of Christ.

If you need supplies or help -- or you know someone who does -- head over to that church on the corner of Center Road and Park Road in Kokomo.
