Napa volunteers remake military care packages destroyed in quake

NAPA, Calif. (KGO) -- People in Napa are pitching in to replace military care packages that were crushed in the August earthquake.

Hundreds of people dropped off donations Saturday for Operation: With LOVE From HOME.

Volunteers packed boxes with clothing, toiletries and cards to be sent to troops who can't be with their families this season.

A storage unit filled with boxes collapsed in the Napa earthquake. They remain trapped inside and no one can get to them.

That's why volunteers, like Dave Hartung, say this event is so important. "The silver lining in that is you see what's here today, you see people rallying to still support the cause, realizing we had a natural disaster that would have shut this down potentially, but here we are, hundreds of people, hundreds of packages, shows the humanity of man, people do amazing things," said Hartung.

Organizers hope to fill 1,000 boxes.
