Amy Austin — Fri, 27 May 2011 13:58:04 +0000

I proudly tell everyone I meet I'm from East Texas where neighbors look after neighbors. Proudly we are reaching out to help the people in Joplin, MO pick up the pieces with a fellow East Texan - Brad Hawkins.

Brad's family sent me an email telling me about how their sprint racing team is taking the time to bring much needed supplies to the good people in Joplin, MO. The Hawkins racing team just needed my help getting information to our listeners about the efforts and the list of supplies most needed in Missouri. The Hawkins' Racing trailer is set up in front of the Brookshire's grocery in Whitehouse through Saturday evening.

Of course, KNUE couldn't wait to help. We quickly got the word out on the air. More relief efforts after the jump.
