I am amazed at the outpouring of support shown for the community of Joplin. I wish I could do more. My contact at CBCO said they met their need for the Joplin area and have an excess of A Positive blood, so I don't even need to go give. The community college here is accepting donations until 9pm tonight. I'm thinking about skipping class tonight to go pack up stuff to drop off there. My co-worker, who is now the official person in charge of finding foster homes for displaced pets, said that there are two tractor trailers full of enough pet supplies for 2000 animals heading that way now, plus she has a list of at least 115 people willing to foster animals ranging from gerbils to cows. The best bet at this point would be to give non-perishable food items, water, clothing, and toiletries.
