he deadliest single twister in 60 years has left the people of Joplin in great need of our help. I am driving down to Joplin on Thursday (5/26) to deliver goods and help where I can. Another delivery will be made on Friday. If you are interested in donating, here’s a list of items that are in short supply:
- Easy-open, ready-to-eat nonperishable food items or canned goods and can openers
- Snacks such as crackers and granola bars are needed
- There is a demand for all types of personal hygiene items, including diapers and paper products such as paper plates, eating utensils, paper towels and toilet paper
- Cleaning supplies are also accepted
Also on the list:
- New blankets and new pillows

- Cleaning wipes
- Batteries
- Flashlights
- New toothpaste and new toothbrushes
- 5-gallon buckets with resealable lids
- Cots
