A community donation drive on Hawaii's Big Island brought in more than $40,000 plus truckloads of supplies — good news for families still recovering from the recent storm.

• Police vehicles parked at the Kona Costco filled up with food, water, and cleaning supplies within minutes.
• Officers had to bring in a pickup truck for the overflow, and that filled up too.
• More than $40,000 in cash was collected, including $20,000 at one location.
• Donations are still being taken at the Kona Walmart.

Outlook: The supplies and money now head to storm survivors, and collections continue at remaining drop-off sites.
