ST. LOUIS – In the aftermath of the May 16 tornado, the north St. Louis community has come together to support those affected, with neighbors helping neighbors in a remarkable display of solidarity.

One of the many initiatives includes pop-up tents distributing care packages to children impacted by the storm.

These efforts are part of a larger community response to provide relief and hope to those in need.

On Friday, at the corner of Marcus and Natural Bridge Avenues in North St. Louis, children were seen smiling as they received care packages, a testament to the community’s resilience and generosity.

The Urban League of Metro St. Louis is organizing another large distribution event to further aid the community. This event will take place at their headquarters on North Kingshighway from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Volunteers are encouraged to arrive by 10 a.m. to assist with the setup. The event will offer food, toiletries and other essential items through a drive-through service to ensure safety and convenience.
