After the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, communities around the country have stepped up to help those affected on the East Coast. And Tinley Park is no exception. Businesses have been collecting donations, and even Tinley Park Police officers have been asked to assist with emergency efforts. (No officers were deployed to New Jersey, however, because the state withdrew its request.)

This isn't the first time the village has helped out storm victims. In 2005, the community came together to find housing here for the displaced New Orleans residents of Hurricane Katrina.
Watch the video shot by Todd A. Sherman (and posted on YouTube) to see how the village volunteers greeted the out-of-state residents as they pulled in on buses to Tinley Park.
