💛 In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that have impacted St. Louis, our hearts go out to the individuals and families who have lost so much. As we begin the long process of recovery, the Y is committed to being a place of hope, help, and healing. From providing a place for showers and relief at several of our Y locations, to the Bayer YMCA in north city working with surrounding neighborhoods in recovery, and even the O'Fallon Park Rec Complex Y continuing to be a primary response hub for individuals and organizations to drop off and pick up supplies, we're standing with our neighbors in this time of need. More than 4,000 volunteers have already supported over 10,000 families, and the work continues. If you feel called to help, the Gateway Region YMCA has launched the 2025 Tornado Relief Fund where donations made through our website will go directly toward local recovery efforts. 🔗 Give now: gwrymca.org/gateway-region-ymca-2025-tornado-relief-fund (fb)

Check out their post for the full list and ways to support! 🕙 Drop-off: 10 AM – 3 PM only 📍 O'Fallon Park Rec Complex – 4343 W Florissant, St. Louis, MO 63115 🔗 actionstl.org/tornado (fb)
