American Red Cross

We are heartbroken by the damage and loss in St. Louis and the surrounding areas caused by the storms on Friday, May 16. The entire Cardinals organization mourns those who lost their lives and our thoughts are with their families and everyone affected across our community.

Cardinals Care has made a $50,000 donation to the American Red Cross to directly support MO/IL tornado victims. Join us in helping our neighbors affected by the recent tornadoes by making a donation to American Red Cross Spring Storms and Floods.

AMERICAN RED CROSS DISASTER RELIEF UPDATE

Red Cross disaster teams are working around the clock with our partners to provide a safe place to stay, food to eat, and emotional support for those affected by the recent tornado and storms.

Five Red Cross shelters are open in Greater St. Louis to provide Red Cross services and a safe place to stay. Anyone who has been affected is welcome to stop by to get information, a hot meal, charge their phone and access other essential support. All our shelters are open for services, HOWEVER, if you are needing to stay overnight, it's important to remember that shelter populations are fluid as people come and go throughout the day. Please call 1-800-Red-Cross or go to redcross.org/shelter for a list of shelters available for overnight stays before choosing a location.
