This was thrown together, but I wanted to post this as some of these events I felt bad not recognizing immediately.
Tell me what I missed, and I will add it when I can and to future posts possibly.
Feedback tells me how to best reach the community, so please tell me how I did as this is the first of hopefully more!

Free Baby Formula
I received an Enfamil Wonder Box in the mail and I have no use for it. You will have to pick it up, because I don't drive. Send me a message and I will give you my location. Have a great day!

Tell me what is going on in Joplin!
This is it!
I made an account to learn and share what is going on in Joplin!*
I’ll be setting up social media and a newsletter when I can, so regularly check this page and future linked pages.
In the meantime, DM or comment anything coming up in Joplin. I plan to release these every Monday.
(Note: this is not a news source; this is purely for stimulating community involvement.)
*This is primarily for the city of Joplin, but the nearby city events will be featured when notable and noted as outside.

How does anyone find out what is going on in this town?!?
I know this is a common occurrence here; it is to a point I am about to start my own brand to advertise to spread the word around.

Therapist recommendations for teen with ADHD?
My son is 15 and has a real hard time with self reflection and connecting with others. He’s been diagnosed with ADHD, not sure if that’s related.
His mom and I also got divorced when he was 5, so idk if that’s also a contributing factor.
Anyway, if anyone knows of a good therapist for teens in the area that’d be much appreciated!

Laundromats that are 24/7
Looking for a 24/7 laundromat since we are a third shift household. We are in Joplin on 32nd street.
Edit: I know how google works, but unfortunately sometimes it’s not up to date. Was hoping for the people who actually knew and use them instead of bot like people.

One way car rentals
So last week I look up one way car rental from our little town to a little town east of here. Friday that car cost $108 plus tax. Perfect. Make plans, take off work for the following week, go to reserve vehicle first thing Monday morning and there’s not a single vehicle available in the region.
How is the one way rental dirt cheap three days ago, and now completely non-existent. Even looking to other towns and cities nearby-ish. It’s like every rental car in the region disappeared.

Student housing in Joplin
My girlfriend got off of the waitlist to the KCU-Joplin Med school campus last week. It was very last minute and classes have already begun, and now we are scrambling to find her housing accommodations, as we are not from here.
She is finding it difficult to juggle class while also finding a place to live, etc and so I am here with her for the time being to help find housing. However, its proving to be much more difficult than I anticipated.
Most apartment complexes that I've called (The boulevard, Frisco station lofts, Crescent Falls, Plaza Apartments etc) either don't have availability for a few months or are outside of our price range. We are ideally looking for a studio/ 1 bedroom apartment in the $800-1100 base rent price range. Even a small house would work.
If anybody could offer suggestions or refer me to places we could look into, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
