Joplin, Missouri was hit by an EF5 tornado on May 22, 2011. This was the single deadliest storm in the US in the last 60 years. Having seen pictures of the devastation, i would urge you to consider making a donation.

Joplin is one of our service areas, and the company is matching donations made through the red cross.

If anyone is local to St Louis, we are collecting school supplies to send down on June 10th (they plan on starting summer school June 16th to put some routine back into the childrens lives) I can provide a list if anyone is interested.
