ST. LOUIS TORNADO RELIEF -- HOW TO HELP
hey y’all —
If you’ve been following the news in the US, you know that tornadoes ripped through the midwest and southeast, including my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. The tornado in St. Louis left tens of thousands without power, ripped roofs off of buildings, uprooted trees, and killed at least five. Many people had little to no warning, as the storm intensified and moved quickly, and many have reported that sirens did not go off (alerts were sent to phones, however). The value in property damage is in the billions. St. Louis will need help.
The tornado in St. Louis mainly ripped through north city, which is historically Black, low income, and largely neglected by the city itself. Here’s some information and links to help and donate to the people of north city!
This is a super comprehensive list of ways to help from St. Louis Public Radio – best for those in the STL area.
