Being a caring community, many people who Channel 11's coverage of the flooding wanted to help.

So much so that one group decided to open an entire free store to help out.

"We're here for them and we've got a ton of items: couches, chairs, desks, mattresses, desks," said Shay McCaffrey, the organizer.

McCaffrey helped organize the opening of the free store for flood victims.

With a little bit of donated space at Fox Chapel Plaza, donations were rolling in all weekend long and Monday was the first day they opened as a store.

"We're a little short on space, but we're doing what we can to stack things up," McCaffrey said.
