JOPLIN, MO.--- Several dozen Americorps staff and volunteers attended a reception at St.Pauls United Methodist Church this morning. The Joplin Americorps recovery project grant ends on December 21st, church leaders thought this would be a great last chance for everyone to celebrate their volunteer efforts.
"They have been here since the early days following the tornado, and now they are getting ready to move on to the next disaster. I believe they are going up to hurricane Sandy and helping there, and so we just wanted to send them off with a small reception. A way of saying thank you," states Chuck Kralik, St.Paul's Tornado Relief Coordinator.
