O/T **OMAHA area Collection for Joplin Disaster Relief**

To all in the Omaha area:

I'm heading down to Joplin on Friday at noon with my pickup and a small enclosed trailer. I am collecting donated items to help out those that are in need and have lost everything.

Here's a quick list of items:
Water
Toiletries
Non-perishable food that does not need to be cooked
Sleeping bags
Tarps
Rope
Duct tape
Flashlights
Batteries
Sunscreen
Baby items: food, diapers, etc.
Antibacterial hand wipes



If you'd like to donate anything for me to take down there, please drop it off at my house. Easiest way to get ahold of me is by cell phone: 402-681-3088. I will give you my address over the phone, would rather not post it here.



I'll be joining Ryno and crew to help with the relief/clean-up efforts:

BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT IS DONATING AND HELPING OUT. IT MEANS MORE THAN YOU KNOW!! Nick 402-681-3088

 

Lunch crew bump.

 

Nick money sent subject line Joplin Donation Thanks for letting me be a part of what you are doing drive safe an God Bless....

 

Mark, thanks a ton for sending some $$. I'll get more supplies purchased before we leave!

 

Be careful Nick, they are predicting more bad weather. I have a friend that lives there and he said they are not letting people into the area, might be different if you have supplies.

 

HAMB relay to help the tornado victims?

 

We will keep an eye on the weather on our way down. Leaving around noon Friday and going straight to Ryno's. He is accessible, just north of Joplin. Sounds like we will stage from his shop to the Church as necessary and allowable.

 

Nick, I didn't have a lot on my PP but it's sent to you. Good luck and stay safe, man.

 

Just talked to you on the phone...will be over this evening with a box of goodies.
BTTT
And I stuck this tread up top for a few days

 

Will you be rolllin' thru the KC area? I can meet you at a "fuel stop" and toss some stuff your way if your not full (trailer/truck wise). Water and "baby wipes" from CostCo....and I bet that I can take up a donation from some in my area for some petrol for your truck.

Chris

 

OK Nick, know that alot of us are with you in spirit, and you will be in our prayers ... Let Ryno know that we're glad he's OK

 

hats off to you nick!! i am boxing stuff up to ship out to ryno...i wish i was closer to lend a hand

 

HUGE thank you to Magnus, RAZIN CAIN, Rocky, sodbuster Chris, and everyone else that has donated items and/or cash!
I can't tell you all enough how much I appreciate all of this.

Right now we are getting to the point of need a medium-large Uhaul (type) moving truck to take everything down there. One of our product reps. from work has donated $500, which will cover fuel and buy more supplies. If anyone has the ability or connection to get a moving truck donated or discounted, please let me know.


There have even been a few random people contact me to donate items (such as a pickup load of tarps!). They did a Google search "Joplin donation Omaha" and this thread is the first thing that popped up, so they called me to donate items.
Talk about the power of the HAMB right there.... just unbelievable.

Thanks again, everyone, this is all for a great cause.

 

I will try to put some stuff together for your fuel stop in KC...& I will take care of your gas up to a c-note...and the other will goes to your trip south.


Sent from my iPhone using TJJ.

 

Nick just sent some cash from Texas Eddie K

 

Nick, I'll bring some stuff over. I'll call to get your address.

Mike

 

Hey Nick. You are good people! Ryno said something about needing chainsaws on the other thread. I did not see if you were coming through KC or not? I could drop it off at Chris' house if you are?

Mike

 

I love this place HAMB power......

 

Nick, I will be bringing over some mixed supplies from The South Omaha Turds. I am so thrilled at the great response from the H.A.M.B. family. See ya Fri. a.m. ~sololobo~

 

so i dont know if i missed it but where can i send cloths????? or is it to late???? would like to help

 

hold on to them for now, i may have a another illinois Indiana drop point in the next week or so, ill start another thread when that happens. we'll see what's needed at that point. everyone wants to help now, and they have been saying on the local radio, to people that ask now what they can do, the answer is too remember us in 3 weeks, never forget!

 

Hey gang! Just got a chance to get on the site and want to say THANK YOU to all for your support. This is really a major disaster in our area and have been there to volunteer. It is almost unbelievable how much damage has been done, yet on the other hand, very emotional to see the outpouring of love and encouragement from people that you don't even know. My aunt and family lost 3 homes and yet all are alive and well, along with many many friends that lived in the "zone". I can't thank you enough for your support. This really is a fantastic group of people here. Thanks again.
