Major League Baseball and a charitable foundation run by players are working with Habitat for Humanity to build five homes in Joplin, Mo. State Farm Insurance Co. is providing more than half of the funding.
Crews will work on two of the homes in the parking lot of Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City during baseball’s All-Star game on July 10.
Joplin, where an estimated 7,500 homes were destroyed last May in a tornado that wiped out about one-third of the community and killed 161 people, will get five homes.
Four homes will be built for Tuscaloosa, Ala., where more than 50 people died last April in a tornado.
