Two weeks before Christmas, Tennesseans are coming together to help neighbors affected by tornadoes that tore through the central portion of the state over the weekend.

The tornadoes took the lives of six people in the communities of Clarksville and Madison in the Nashville area, including a 2-year-old and 10-year-old child, and injured dozens more.
