We appreciate so much your willingness to be a part of the rescue and clean up effort that is taking place here in the Joplin area. We have been working tirelessly around the clock to help in rescue, clean up as well as the gathering and distribution of supplies.
We have come along side area churches and para-church organizations in relief efforts as well as distributing supplies to victims and volunteers. If you are calling about volunteering at this time please call College Heights Christian Church @ 417.624.6915 or visit 211missouri.org
If you have supplies that you would like to donate, at this time Joplin is asking you to wait, as the initial response has been overwhelming however, Please consider giving financially at cartervillechristian.com by clicking on the donate button.
If you are a church or group that would like to come volunteer at a later date please leave us a message at 417.673.1245 and we will contact you with future opportunities. You can also visit 211missouri.org and signup to be contacted through united way.
We are working hard as a church and staff to cover every base that we possibly can with man power, financial help and supplies in taking care of the victims displaced and hurting from the tragic storm. We are doing everything we can to help return them to normalcy and get back to the life that they were used to before May 22.
Thank you.

Robin, hi, how are you? I have been planning a trip to visit Adam and Nicole this summer. I started classes for the summer the day after the tornado hit.
I was really torn for that one day on what to do...go to school, or head to Joplin. I prayed a bunch, sat and thought and decided to go ahead to these classes and would like to go up there around Aug. 10 or 11 to stay maybe a week. I want to help in some way. I can't do heavy lifting, but wondered if you know or can find out something some people can help with?
I think we may bring a group from our church up during that time, in a few vehicles so that some can go home when they need to or stay longer if they want. Glad you all are ok!! Adam was able to send me a text as the tornado was about to hit. Was that ever some tense moments! Oh, and we are thinking we'll bring some supplies with us, will check beforehand on what might be needed. Take care. Barb Harger
