They say it doesn't do much to ease the pain, but they hope it's enough to show the family that they are in their prayers.
As everyone waits word on the the whereabouts of the two Luong sisters, the First Evangelical Methodist Church in Bayou La Batre has donated $1,000 toward the childrens' burial costs.
Senior Pastor Kevin Brouillette says everyone just wants to help in their own special way whether it's digging into their wallets or searching the waters.
"We want to bring this to completion for this family. So I think that's where our people are determined. They want to help and they can help in that way and that's why you see outpouring and that's why you see all the boats and you know all the volunteers out there and that's a tangible way we can do this," said First Evangelical Senior Pastor Kevin Brouillette.
A group called the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows has offered to buy burial plots for the four children.
It will also pay for the opening and closing of the graves.
