Here’s how you can help tornado victims

Multiple organizations are working to address the most immediate needs of our community including Greater St. Louis Inc., the Regional Business Council, Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis and United Way of Greater St. Louis.

 The items most needed according to St. Louis and St. Louis Count officials, in advance of expected storm this week, are:

• Tarps
• Plywood and two-by-fours
• Wood screws
• Exterior caulk and caulk guns
• Tools: Hammers, tape, flashlights, wheelbarrows, drills, reciprocating saws, and utility knives
• Additional supplies needed: batteries, tents, ponchos, umbrellas, paper towels, cleaning products, disinfecting wipes, bleach, and first aid kits.

Volunteers Needed

With more storms approaching, there is an urgent need for volunteers who can help secure tarps to roofs and for the proper equipment to get to roofs safely. 

Donations Needed

The City of St. Louis has worked with the St. Louis Community Foundation to establish the City of St. Louis Tornado Response Fund. This fund supports the efforts to provide immediate relief and long-term rebuilding of areas impacted by the storms. Donate now.
