Webb City Ward Helping Hands

LDS Helping Hand volunteers from the Webb City Ward, Joplin Missouri Stake, clear debris at a home in Joplin after the F5 tornado ripped through the city. Most of the work done by the LDS Helping Hands were at homes on the edge of the tornado's path, which may have been damaged by debris but not destroyed.

A little bit of music makes the Helping Hands work go down!
