The deadly tornado that ripped through Joplin on May 22, 2011, devastated thousands and left them with little
more than the clothing on their backs. Gavco teamed up with volunteers from both The First Baptist Church and
CenterCross Church in Tulsa to help contribute to the relief efforts by delivering donated essentials to those
affected. Among the truckload were numerous cases of bottled water, sanitary alcohol wipes, both perishable and
non-perishable food items, as well as other supplies requested by the Red Cross.
