The volunteers in China Grove replaced sheets of tin that blew away from the community's church roof. They helped a Mennonite dairy farmer build a new tool shed and restore the roof on his barn.
They also pitched in to help non-Mennonite neighbors in China Grove, a community that is close-knit despite differences in dress and beliefs, Yoder said.

This is awesome. This is what should happen in more places. So often in tragedies like this people cry for help, but they sit on their buts and do nothing on their own. I think this is great that these communities are pulling together to rebuild and their not being discriminate in who they help.
