One of the most destructive tornadoes on record hit the mid-western town of Joplin, Mo., on the evening of May 22, 2011. The tornado ripped a swath of destruction nearly a mile wide through the heart of town, leaving more than 160 people dead and many more homeless. In the days following that terrible event, SVI was one of the many organizations that provided volunteers to help with the cleanup. Six months later, SVI returned as a company to pitch in and help in the rebuilding process. In this video, Randy Curry, a resident of Joplin, tells one of the many stories about people pitching in and helping those effected by the storm.
