It's been nearly a week since devastating flooding tore through Kerr County, Texas, killing more than 100 people.

Sitting between the towns of Kerrville and Ingram is the city West Church.

This House of Worship has been transformed into a pop-up food distribution site.

Volunteers line each side of folding tables, scooping prepared food into containers

before loading those meals into boxes.

They're singing as they pack.

Some of those meals will stay here at this church to feed first responders and people

who come to a drive-through, but most will be dispatched out across the community.

This massive operation to feed thousands of impacted people and first responders is organized

by a Virginia-based nonprofit called Mercy Chefs. CEO Gary LeBlanc said the group started

mobilizing on July 4th and had its first meal service the next day.

Staff came from outside of Texas, but it relies on local volunteers to fill containers full of hot meals and help them reach the hungry.

Everybody here in Kerr County lost someone or knows someone that lost someone.

So for those 70 or 100 volunteers that are with us, every day it's therapy for them.

LeBlanc says they're providing as many as 5,000 hot meals to the community here each day.

Consider this.

Flooding has devastated the communities of Texas Hill Country, but even after the

unimaginable, residents are coming together to help each other move forward.
