Some brought big items like microwaves, others helped with simple things, like paper towels.
"We brought a rug, window treatments, barstools, and some household items," said Ann Hogewood.
Hogewood's 10-year-old son also got in on the effort.
"I picked out all the groceries, all the stuff like that," said Benjamin Hogewood.
The project is part of a collaboration between the Salvation Army and the Green Chair Project, which normally provides these items to homeless people who are transitioning to independent living.
For those who don't have items to give, organizers say cash would help too.
"If they would like to sponsor a family whose been stricken by the tornadoes, to receive a whole household of furnishings, they can pay $200 and that family will have no expense in having to replace their furniture," said Jackie Craig, co-founder of the Green Chair Project.
