The Packers' defensive end drove earlier this week to his boyhood neighborhood of Parkersburg, Iowa after a tornado ripped through the town, killing seven and injuring 50. Among the injured was Kampman's grandfather.
Winds of more than 200 mph whipped through the town of 1,800, leveling homes and buildings before moving east.
Kampman, a native of nearby Kelsey, said he couldn't have imagined the destruction he saw when he arrived. But he, along with other residents, used a chainsaw to help remove trees and debris.
"There's so much devastation, you can't look at the big picture," Kampman said. "You've got to look at the small victories. That's been (the residents') rallying cry."
Kampman, a 1998 Aplington-Parkersburg High School graduate, said the Packers will get involved at some level to help out the town.
"This is an opportunity to get as much help (from) all the different circles of influence that people like myself have found themselves in," he said.
