Long Term Recovery receives $50,000 from Red Cross

Since the May 22, 2011 tornado the Long Term Recovery Center has worked to provide support and services for Joplin, Missouri.

Now, they have more funding to help them with their cause.

The American Red Cross, Southern Missouri Region has donated $50,000 to the Recovery Center.

Jay St. Clair of the Volunteer Housing Consortium said

"This money means that we really get to continue to serve the people of Joplin and it will allow Joplin to be better than it was before the tornado," Jay St. Clair of the Volunteer Housing Consortium says in a news release issued by the American Red Cross.  "It means that we will be more prepared than we were, and better able to respond should disaster ever happen again."
