Joplin Aid Update!

One of my readers in Joplin, MO works for the local TV Station and has been keeping me up to date with all the good 411. They still need our help! I know there are reports that tell a different story, but here is an update straight from Joplin on items that are needed most. If you can fill a Flat Rate USPS Box it will be much appreciated.

1. Giftcards- needed to buy meds and other such items that cannot be donated

2. Socks- kids, adults all of the above

3. Sunscreen

4. Work Gloves

5. Toiletries- TB, TP, Soap, Deod

If  you are not comfortable sending a Giftcard in the mail but would still like to help please email me.

If you are in the Houston area, and want to donate items to be taken to Joplin MO and surrounding communities, you can bring them up to The Woodlands and we will be personally delivering them over Father’s Day weekend.

In Houston:

• The Woodlands Christian Church 1202 North Millbend Dr. The Woodlands 77380 (NO Sunday drop-offs, sorry! Mon-Fri 9 – 4 and Saturday all day)

If you want to mail items, I suggest packing it in a medium, Flat Rate Box from the Postal Service. We have a church in Springfield MO working with us as a mail point, where we can then sort the items and get them out. This is where we will need YOU if you are in the area!

Where to mail packages:

• Address to: Coupon-Aid (care of the Vineyard Church) 634 W. Wall | Springfield, MO 65806

There are no weight restrictions, so pack this box as full as you can! The total cost to mail no matter how heavy is $10.95. I fit a ton of great stuff in one!

As part of the trip I will be organizing a work day on Saturday June 18th and Sunday Father’s Day. If you are anywhere near there and would like to join us in helping out please keep checking the site. I will add details on needed items and supplies as I get more information.
