The Mission was founded in the wake of the F-5 May 22 Joplin, MO tornado, with the original goal of laundering clothes for tornado victims. It has since grown into a major center aiding in helping victims of the disaster get back on their feet, supplying food, toiletries, clothing and household goods. All items are generously donated, and have come to our center from around the world. We are staffed by dedicated employees who aid in the distribution of hundreds of items to those in need daily. After working with the hundreds of men, women and children affected by the tragic storm, we now know that the need is great all across the nation for a center to aid in the distribution of donated goods free of charge to those in need We are supported by funds and materials from donors.
