Through the efforts of Troop 113, support of Packs 1213, 113 and 471, and the donations by the Tomball community, Troop 113 collected more than $10,000 in cash or matching donations, in addition to donated goods to help the victims in Joplin. A semi trailer full of goods arrived in Joplin on June 7, where it was unloaded and the goods distributed to the community.
