Green Bay, Wis (WFRV) - A local family who lost their home in a fire is overwhelmed by the support it's receiving from their community.

The Grabian family was away at church last Sunday when their house caught fire and destroyed everything they had.

Saturday, the Grabians got some help from a local hot chocolate stand at the River Cities Habitat for Humanity Restore in Marinette. All the proceed went toward helping the family get back on their feet.

The event was because of a pair of sisters, Faith and Nevaeh Tebo. They said as soon as they heard about the fire, they knew they needed to help out.

The final tally for the day: 297 people came out, raised over $2300, and a ton of clothing and household items donated.
