Ten days after an EF-2 tornado dismantled parts of Cameron, Illinois, people in the community say they still need help.
Residents say state agencies and others have left; however, the American Red Cross has kept a steady presence in the community.
"We've been roaming the neighborhood passing out water, Gatorade and snacks for the people as they work," said American Red Cross volunteer Steve Wendel.
Piles of debris are stacked in people's front yards. Cameron is relatively quiet, but the sounds of a hammer often echoes throughout the town. Many people have begun to tear down and rebuild what they lost after the tornado.
Terry Lester, who's home wasn't destroyed but his barn was, said he is one of the lucky ones.
"I didn't get hurt, but it was scarey, though," Lester said as he removed a nail from his dismantled barn.
Warren County officials haven't released any information about the total damage in Cameron.
On Monday, July 27, a MARC (Multi Agency Resource Center) will open at the Cameron Christian Church from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Among those who are expected are The Salvation Army, American Red Cross and several faith-based agencies. Organizers encourage all residents impacted by the tornado to stop by.
If you would like to donate to those impacted by the tornado, you can donate to the Cameron Christian Church. So far, the church has raised more than $15,000, according to the church's treasurer.
