We've seen the destruction caused by the Joplin tornado; virtually the entire city has been leveled.
Natural disasters just seem to be occurring non-stop lately, straining already tight resources.
Residents of Joplin need our prayers, cash, donations of blood and many other things.
The Red Cross site is requesting donations. It has also put up a site to connect people with missing loved ones.
Several Facebook pages, as well as Relief Spark's Twitter page, give information about volunteering or donating supplies.
Community Blood Center of the Ozarks needs blood -- especially Type O. Their site lists area donor centers.
Kim Commando (http://www.komando.com/toolbox.aspx?mode=print&id=10830) has listed several resource sites. In addition to Red Cross donations, Red Cross Safe and Well, Relief Spark and Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, it lists Reading Tornado May 21, 2011; Help Joplin; and Joplin, MO, Tornado Recover.
Both the Hunger & Child Health sites are giving 100% of donations for tornado relief. You pay nothing, just click on these sites -- sponsors pay for each click (one a day). Or, increase donations by making purchases at the sites.
