I put together Men’s mission trips through our church in Nashua New Hampshire, Grace Lutheran Church. Is there still opportunity to volunteer and help in Joplin from the 2014 tornado? We are a group of men that are skilled in construction and have helped in Indiana, Mississippi, and New Orleans. We would like to help if needed, just need contact information.
