I live in Joplin, MO & was among the blessed that was missed by the massive EF5 Tornado that deconstruction a third of our town on Sunday. I won't bother noting the numbers of injured/deceased/homeless because they are rising daily.
Many people have stepped up locally and volunteered and donated. As donations pile in, the needs are getting much more specific. As I have been following the announcements of the various shelters setup around the city I have noted that toiletries are a bigger need.
I know a lot of us around here like to try different things and stockpile some. I am going through what I have, so I figured I would offer to receive anything you guys might want to give & make certain they get to people/a shelter where they are needed. Of course we're talking more generic items as this probably isn't the best time for guys to relearn how to shave. So a pack of disposables you got for travel and never touched, your M3 handle w/unopened refills & the goop that you have sworn off of, bath soaps, shampoo, deodorant, or whatever else you have laying around would be great.
If anyone is interested in donating let me know & I can get you an address to ship to.
Here is a pic I snapped with my phone as we walked across town to help find some friends. Most of the tan brick walls are what's left of Joplin Highschool and Franklin Tech.
Here is what it looked like before.
