We are NO Longer Accepting Donations
**** Update**** June 6, 2011
The Semi arrived Saturday morning and they are still unloading it and sifting through things. The amazing Semi driver is actually volunteering there while the truck is being sorted out so it's truly a mission of love!
A HUGE DISH THANK YOU to the person who donated the funds for the truck and set the entire thing up...they wish to remain in the background but you know who you are and God has a special blessing for you!!
Thank you to all who donated, you've made a very loving and positive difference in people's lives and believe me when I tell you they are all very thankful. Speaking to them on the phone today and hearing the excitment when their kid got a bicycle from our truck, or a new pair of shoes because they had been running around barefooted since the storm. You are a blessing to others and that makes you a beautiful soul that shines in the darkness when we all need to find our way. THANK YOU!!
Our deadline for accepting donations was Saturday May 28 at 5 pm. PLEASE DO NOT take any more items to our donations locations because we will NOT have a way to get them to Joplin.
Thank you for your tireless generosity, kindness and desire to help others, Houston. When this is all finished check back here for some amazing stories about the beautiful heart our gorgeous city has and how it's shared that heart with others in need.
Blessings and Love

Ok DISHIES! This is where we can show the world...one more time...just how amazing Houstonians really are!
As you well know, the town of Joplin, Missouri was hit by a massive tornado Sunday. over 35% of the city was literally blown away.
DISH'S Aunt's house is a slab now. The Hospital where DISH'S Grandmother was just last week was horribly damaged. This is an awful happening and DISH is asking YOU to help out!
DISH is doing a relief drive for clothing, food, diapers, wipes, toothbrushes, pet items and food...anything you can think of that you use in your everyday life is needed up there.
The gorcery stores are either out of items completely or have been damaged so folks can't shop there.
The list of donation drop off points is here and will be growing so please keep this page up and refresh it as our partners list grows!
Thank you in advance for giving back and helping others. Remember....I doesn't have to be in our city to be in our hearts and need our help.
DISH is working with the Red Cross in Mo so if you'd like to make a financial donation, please make it out to them and we'll deliver it for you.
ALSO...The Animal Adoption and Rescue Center needs financial donations as well. There are scared, homeless pets all over the city right now and folks have spent a lot of the day chasing after them to put them in the shelter so they can have a safe place to be.
Blessings and Love to you! - DISH
