ORANGE COUNTY, Texas — People in Orange County are still relying on support from the community on their road to recovery after Hurricane Laura.
Devastating damage can be seen across Orange County, but several organizations are in Southeast Texas to help where folks need it most.
The Home Depot parking lot has become a hot spot for Harbor Home Health to reach hurricane victims who are in need of a refreshing treat.
"We partnered up with visiting angels to offer a nice cold treat so we're doing ice cream floats and bottled water, free for today so it's just a way for people to cool off because we know a lot of them are still without power," Pam Delaet said.
Across town, Turning Point Church has turned into a state-run distribution site. George Gau is the pastor. He says at least 10,000 people have shown up over the last four days.
"A lot of people are apprehensive or too prideful to ask for help. We just tell them, look, it's okay to let other people help you," Gau said.
Combat Coolers is also around town. They fill coolers with essential items and drinks to pass out.
"There's all kind of different things and just a chance to get them a smile and a hug and let them know that we're thinking about them," Britni McPayne said.
Combat Coolers Texas President Britni McPayne said the most rewarding part about this experience is being able to come through for others when they need it most.
"We've all been there, especially, being down here on the Gulf coast we know what it is like. And it stinks but thankfully there's people who are willing to go help them and give them a little bit of encouragement," McPayne said.
The state's points of distribution sites ended on Thursday, but there are other ways to find help in the area.
