Drop Off Sites for Joplin Tornado Relief

Here is the first bit of information for dropping off your donations for tornado relief.  I will try to add more to this post within the next few days as I learn about them. I am taking these directly off the Internet, but have not personally verified any, so you may want to look up the phone number and make a call before driving.

• High Blue Wellness Center, 16400 Mullen Road, Belton, MO, (in Wallace Park) is a drop off point for donations to Joplin.  Immediate needs include socks, clothing, personal hygiene items, bottled water, batteries, flashlights & generators.
