LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- West Liberty University students and staff members are returning to the Kentucky town of the same name to help with ongoing tornado recovery efforts.

West Liberty, Ky. was one of the towns hardest hit by the March 2nd tornadoes.  West Liberty University in West Virginia sent a team to provide help shortly after the disaster.

During this week's trip, students and staff will paint-newly built homes and continue collecting debris and clearing tree damage.

Sophomore Abbey Boram says what she saw during her first visit inspired her to return. She says she feels connected to the town and wants to help again.
