Donations can also be made at https://ccstl.org/ or mailed to Catholic Charities, PO Box 952393, St. Louis MO 63195-2393; note “Storm Relief STL” on check). A note from Catholic Charities: We know it’s natural to want to give clothing, furniture or household goods in times like these. But many have lost their homes and have nowhere to store or use donated items. Monetary gifts allow us to respond quickly and flexibly to the most urgent needs — like food, emergency shelter, temporary housing support, and essential supplies. Thank you in advance for your compassion and for standing with those who are suffering! (fb)
