An army of volunteers packed boxes of food for a line of residents affected by Hurricane Irma.
"I'm on disability and I have no money left because of the storm for food, and it's very heart breaking," said recipient Lori Doyle.
Nearly 80 percent of Pinellas County lost power due to Irma, so Friday's supplies helped hundreds.
"I am thankful for all the linesmen, I am thankful for all the communities that have come together to help us out," said Doyle.
The Salvation Army says over the past week in a half, it has had 61 mobile kitchens and has served more than 700 hot meals.
It has helped people like Chris Klafs, who lost power for more than a week. She says she's normally on the other side of the table volunteering her time.
"I've been here for 25 years working with the homeless, and I am poor also, so I am very thankful for them to help us," said Klafs.
More than 20 volunteers helped at the site Friday.
