Thrive Allen County has set up a collection point for area residents to donate to the Joplin disaster relief efforts.
Thrive officials are seeking such things as bottled water, diapers, wipes, toiletries, clean clothes and clean blankets.
Items can be taken to the Thrive office at 12 W. Jackson Ave.
Organizers also are looking for volunteers, using pickups, vans or other trucks, to transport the donated goods to Joplin this week.

Those items can be donated from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
