JOPLIN, MO - On Thanksgiving Day, First Baptist Church volunteers will go live with their new website: Nationaldisasterphotorescue.net.
The site will showcase thousands of lost pictures from May 22nd, and give people the chance to re-claim them. Currently the church has been posting the photos on their facebook page.
Site organizers say the new page will be very user friendly and a great resource for other churches to use in future disasters.
Church leaders say more than 35,000 photos have been collected in Joplin since May of 2011, 13,000 of which have been returned to families.
