PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CONFIRM NEEDS BEFORE SENDING AID TO JOPLIN. MANY NEEDS ARE BEING MET, AND THEY ARE NOW BEING OVERWHELMED WITH UNSOLICITED DONATIONS. THIS CAN CAUSE SECONDARY PROBLEMS AS THEY TRY TO DEAL WITH THE GOODS. PLEASE CONSIDER MONETARY DONATIONS INSTEAD OF SUPPLY GOODS.

Excerpt from Media Release -
The Food Bank is requesting that community members donate 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. Water bottles are not a priority from donors at this time.
