Send Relief x Meraki Creative STL: Tornado Relief Effort

We are overjoyed to share an incredible update: due to the overwhelming generosity of our community, our initial donation hub has exceeded capacity! In response, Love the Lou, Send Relief, and Meraki Creative St. Louis have united once again to open a second donation hub to continue meeting urgent needs across St. Louis.

In the wake of the devastating tornado that struck our city on May 16, 2025, hundreds of families are still recovering. Many are without essential supplies, and together, we have the opportunity to be a beacon of hope during this time.

We are calling on our amazing community to help us gather the following critical items:

• Non-perishable food
• Toiletries
• Undergarments (all sizes)
• Flashlights & batteries
• Diapers (all sizes)
• Bottled water

But we need more than donations, we need hearts and hands. We invite you to join us in:

✅ Canvassing the neighborhoods to connect directly with affected families
✅ Packaging supplies with care and love for delivery
✅ Delivering hope-filled care packages to homes in need

This is a moment where compassion meets action, and we believe something beautiful happens when our city comes together for our neighbors. Whether you’re donating goods, lending your time, or simply helping spread the word, YOU are part of this story of restoration.

📍Stay tuned for details on drop-off locations, volunteer sign-ups, and delivery schedules.

Let’s continue to be the hands and feet of love in St. Louis. Thank you for showing up in such a powerful way. Let’s keep the momentum going!

With gratitude and expectation,
Love the Lou | Send Relief | Meraki Creative St. Louis
