Help Us Help Joplin!

As many of you may recall, Joplin Missouri was devastated by a tornado on May, 23, 2011.  Time has passed, but the destruction and heartbreak has not.   The recovery is slow, but ongoing.  The Keller Williams DFW offices are joining forces to uplift the people of Joplin, who have lost everything.  If your heart goes out to them like ours does, please join us.  Matt Hilton and Heather Garinger, KW Market Center Managers, will personally deliver the collected items. 

Below, you will find a list of needed items.  If you would like to donate, please contact me by June 20th to arrange for pick up or drop off.  My phone number is 214-448-3835.  Thank you in advance.  You will be blessed and so will the people of Joplin, MO.
