Tim Kramer, who lost his Long Beach home during Superstorm Sandy, started the massive donation drive on Monday after watching the images out of Texas. After making a post on Facebook, donations started to pile up.&nbsp;

&quot;I said, 'It is time to roll Long Beach,' and we have been rolling ever since,&quot; said Kramer.&nbsp;

The momentum has not slowed down. Trucks full of donated supplies continue to arrive and volunteers of all ages keep on stacking and packing.&nbsp;

The donations will be packed into two tractor-trailers the community paid for and head to southern Texas on Saturday. Volunteers say more trucks are needed due to the amount of donations they received.
