As a tornado relief hub closes in north St. Louis, volunteers brace for an aid gap

from St. Louis on the Air

The community response to St. Louis' May 16 tornado has involved hundreds of volunteers putting in thousands of hours over the last three weeks. But some volunteer efforts are now entering a different phase. On June 6, the People’s Response Hub closed its location in O’Fallon Park. We explore the current status of this ongoing, unofficial relief effort with Action St. Louis Executive Director Kayla Reed, and why the closing will result in a “gap” in aid services as volunteers work to reestablish in new locations. We also get to know three members of the STL Cleanup Crew who are also involved in tornado relief efforts.
