I have room at my house for 1 person to stay--maybe 2 if you don't mind sleeping on a couch. If you come down here, you better have lodging arrangements made because you ain't getting a motel.

Thanks Rafe... yep, we have that covered in spades.
Yer a local... do you know anybody right around there with a tow-behind BBQ/smoker/grill outfit we might snag for an open-ended commitment?
Let us know, and thanks, keep up the good work yer doing.

No word yet but I have a commitment of another 10 cases of water to be donated today. Also a possible lead on a source from a large wholesale food company! And we have another volunteer to help who is a retired electrician who is willing to drive his truck and pull a trailer down! So we will have a real ability to haul down some things to help!

Here's the deal, since I REALLY don't know what you need, or what you want me to ask for.
I emailed Jay at Backyard Bash in Parkville last night. They rent grills. My exact and only request to him was this:
"We are a group of hunters and fishermen/women who belong to a Missouri online forum. We are organizing a bbq canteen heading to Joplin later this week, and I'm wondering if you could loan us a couple of gas grills in order to help the residents of Joplin. As of yet, the length of this mission is undetermined. We are absolutely devastated and thank you for your kind consideration in this urgent matter. Susan Page"
His reply last night to me was to contact him at his office by telephone this morning.
What do you need? Grills??? Charcoal???
If you have all that stuff covered, then I'll ask him for a further lead on more food.

God damnit! NOOOOOOOOOO!! Don't YOU phone the poor dude. I just phoned him. Once he gets back to his office, he's going to contact his charcoal supplier and call me back.

Okay-- new PM to Scout was just sent with the hold that call -- Miss Bud has already called him
That means you will be the one contacting the guy and reporting the outcome to Scout1?

I will report directly to Scout. I don't need to know which of his personalities I'm dealing with today, I just want a list of what he needs, by the weekend. I'm just looking at priorities right now.

Someone suggested pet food for those who still have their critters with them. Maybe there is a plant or distributor down there that would donate.

Well, the one that HATES yer meddling azz is on duty at the moments, so...
Seriously, I ain't reporting ANYTHING to you by any weekend.
This may be just another of your harebrained games to you but the rest of us are giving up work and family time to get it done, so back the fork off. PLEASE.

Scout,
I just got on here and saw the post. I am relatively close--- a little less than an hour. Seems like you are needing a pull behind grill. I checked with the teacher across the hall and am working on checking into some of the local cattlemens associations that I know have some pretty big rigs.
I am going to try to check with the local guy around here, but she said the Joplin Regional Stock yard has a big pull behind grill and the contact guys last name is Harmon. I can look intoit after school, but if you are wanting to get in touch now there number is 417-548-2333.
If anyone needs a place to stay, they can call me at 417-354-4801.

I've seen a bunch of this junk up close and dealt with it. Right now people need clothing, food, and a roof over their head. The Salvation Army and Red Cross supply a ton of meals. Every little bit helps, especially when the closest meal is 4-5 miles away and you no longer have a vehicle. MRE's and water are a HUGE deal since most folks don't have a way to cook or get water. The canteen will take care of a huge need in basic needs.
I'm sorry but a pet can eat road kill or table scraps. It's about surviving at this point. Have no fear the democratic loving anti hunting group ASPCA will be taking bags of dog food and dumping it.......that way stray animals and rats can eat and those bastards can sleep "thinking" they did some good

The Red Cross lady said yesterday we can expect to serve up to 1200 peeps a day... just from our lil burger stand.
Just got a phoned commitment for 18 CASES of barbecue sauce LOL. We may hand out barbecue sauce and ask em if they want a burger on it.
Didn't ask what kind. Maybe Blues Hog (josh)
Burrhead has come thru with a contrib of burger patties, way to go KEV!
Keep em coming guys. It may seem like we're pushing to excess, but as Jeff stated above... the need is there, and it won't end when the weekend does.

Scott
I know your busy but would it be possible to post a list of who is calling to get things like charcoal,utensils, paper plates, buns, condiments etc so none of us duplicate phone calls to vendors/suppliers?
I know you are set to hit the road, so is there someone that you are going to check in with for status of who/when/where etc that we can email or PM or whatever?
Since you will be at site,you can contact that person and they can relay what is currently needed-- they in turn can post it here or however you choose.
just a thought

Let's get something clear here. This ain't the Scout show.
This IS the CAFE OUTDOORS CANTEEN.
If it succeeds, if it fails ... if it makes no difference at all... it's the CAFE OUTDOORS CANTEEN, which means it is the dudes of the Cafe.
Right now, it's a matter of pride in who we are, and of doing the right thing for our fellow Missourians.
I just happen to have time and the willingness to help be a bird dog. That's it. SELAH.
Just got another contribution of 36 cases of bottled water, from a friend of a friend in Arkansas. She is delivering it to our church contacts in Jop.
Word from there just now is, bottled water is a hot commodity. So keep taking those donations.
THANK YOU to everybody who is taking this thing seriously.
