devastating tornado in Joplin, MO–

A massive tornado tore through the southwest Missouri city of Joplin, killing at least 89 people and leaving thousands homeless. The twister cut a path nearly 6 miles long and more than a half-mile wide through the center of town, with tornado sirens giving residents about a 20-minute warning before the tornado touched down on the city's west side.

Kids Against Hunger sent over 360,000 meals to Joplin for disaster relief, thanks to everyone who donated and helped get the food to the areas where it was needed.  Most of that food was distributed by the Salvation Army.
