LOUISVILLE, Ky. — People here in Louisville are still coming together to help with recovery efforts.
Some were removing debris in their neighborhoods, others were giving out food to those who lost theirs.
A steady stream of cars dropped off debris in Fairdale on Monday afternoon. The location is one of the seven debris drop-off sites in Louisville.
One car in particular made three trips to drop off downed limbs, but Robin McIntosh is grateful she isn't dropping off more.
"It's just amazing how much the storm can do, how much damage it can do," she said. "Thank God, we just got rid of a tree last year that probably would have come down had we not gotten rid of it."
Just a few miles away, a Fairdale church helped people who lost more than debris, but also food that went bad during the power outage.
"It's not like you can take it to somebody because their power was out too, you know, so I salvaged what I could," 70-year-old Mary Probus said.
And though this Monday's pantry is a bit more special because of the increased need after the storm, Glory and Fire Worship Center does this every week.

"We're not here to show us, we're here to show the love of God and how he would want us to take care of people," Pantry Director Mark Roan said.
North of that food pantry, another one helped people in the same situation in the California neighborhood.
Dare to Care's pop-up pantry distributed vegetables, meat, bread and more.
Nisha Leslie lost her power on Friday and it's still not restored.
"Everything was gone and we just went to the grocery store, so we just lost almost like $300 on food already," Leslie said.
One volunteer helped out despite not having electricity himself.
"I could sit at home and go, 'Oh, woe is me, my power is out.' But I can be out here making a difference in our community," Larry Grossman said. "And that's why I do this kind of work because I think it's important."
