LEESBURG, Va. - Loudoun County residents are pitching in to help the people who lost everything to Hurricane Helene.

Donations are pouring into a hangar at the Leesburg Executive Airport where the community is stepping up in a big way to help victims in North Carolina.

The effort is being organized by local business owners and pilots. They're collecting all kinds of items for the victims of Helene including non-perishable foods, canned items, feminine products, diapers, and baby formula.

Once they have a full load, pilots fly from Leesburg to an airport in Lincoln County, North Carolina.

The group says they are still accepting donations through Sunday and are now also accepting water.
