Chiefs, Rams Players Lend Hand to Tornado Recovery Effort in Joplin

Both NFL football teams in Missouri swooped into Joplin last week, lifting spirits and clearing clogged yards and roads. The Kansas City Chiefs had invited fans to donate supplies and water and cash, and the club was stunned at the outpouring it saw from the community, loading six semis of water (187,490 bottles, by their count) and relief supplies, along with $35,000 from the club and $21,000 of private donations.
