People are coming from across the country to help with the recovery in north Alabama. Some of the youngest volunteers are from Tennessee.
Volunteers by the hundreds are coming to north Alabama some saw down trees and clean up debris, while others whip up an extra large portion of their favorite home cooked meal.
"Myself being a trained chef I've made soups literally from scratch. Today they'll be enjoying beef minestrone," said Scoutmaster AJ Anglebrandt.
AJ Anglebrandt is the scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 46. The troop is from Lynnville, Tennessee. They've driven more than 2 hours, with the trucks loaded and labeled to feed those in need.
"We came here so we can help the people who had a bunch of tragedies happen to them," said 13 year old Boy Scout Austin Smith.
"We just felt that we needed to get out and do our part in our community even though this may not be our community the entire United States is a boy scouts community," said Anglebrandt.
The boy scouts have enough food and supplies to serve at least 600 people and all their items came from volunteers in Tennessee.
"I hope I can give some people some hot meals and some cool drinks," said 12 year old Ethan Thompson.
The scouts are giving away hot meals and non perishable food as well as necessities such as diapers. While the troops are helping those in need the scout master hopes they're learning life long lessons.
"They're learning moral. They're learning how to ban together and work in a situation that is uncontrollable and they're learning from these people and I also want them to learn from the stories that these folks are telling,” said Anglebrandt.
The scouts were in Harvest Sunday.
