Judy and Pete Hartleb in their former neighborhood did a collection for a flood disaster down south and one of their neighbors took the collection down to the victims.Ā The Hartlebs have wanted to do a collection for the tornado victims in Joplin, MO but had no means of driving the collection to Joplin.
Yesterday, Judy found the article below in the Northwest Herald and her prayers were answered. She now has a means to get a Neighborhood 16 collection of clothes and food to Joplin.
