The owners of the warehouse still opened their doors the day of the flooding, trying to give people whatever could be salvaged.

"It's when they need us the most. On the day that we were hit, we literally had people knocking on the door," said Angela Sharpe, co-owner of the warehouse.

On Wednesday, crews started to clean up the damage. While the clothes and shoes on the racks in the upstairs section of the warehouse are in good condition, volunteers say they'll go fast. Still, the team is remaining hopeful, embracing one another, thankful they are safe. The stuff can be replaced.

"We have a great team, and when you have a great team that means the world," said Mary Ellen Shewchuk, a volunteer.
