Atlanta Companies and Workers Help Rebuild Joplin

Almost 200 workers from Atlanta have teamed up to help their Southern brothers and sisters in Joplin recover and rebuild after last month's devastating tornado. Volunteers from The Home Depot got on a charter flight courtesy of Delta Air Lines so that they could help with a number of services, including installing "Blue Roofs" (blue tarps) over damaged homes, debris removal and general cleanup.

These volunteers added to the more than 500 Home Depot associates who already have made the trek to Joplin to volunteer their time and specialized skills to help with the community's recovery and repair.
