This news article on MSNBC is a reminder that after the cameras leave, the need remains.

One of the purposes of Hobo's List is to bring attention to all of the great resources out there to help those in need. While we aim to help the needy, we also aim to help those who want to help but don't know what to do.

The article does not say where to send donations, but Feeding America (formerly Second Harvest) is an always available resource to help people in Joplin and elsewhere. Second Harvest supplies many food banks, and hels to ensure that the resources get to those who heed them the most.
