On Friday, May 16th, an EF3 tornado touched down in the St. Louis region causing a 20 mile path of destruction and devastation. The tornado claimed the lives of five individuals, leaving several injured and hundreds without power, food and shelter. Action St. Louis and For The Culture immediately hit the ground running with rescue and recovery efforts—specifically in North City—and are continuing to do so.
