Help Us Rebuild Hope After the Storm
On May 16, 2025, devastating tornadoes swept across the St. Louis region, leaving many of our neighbors in urgent need of support.
The Gateway Region YMCA has launched the 2025 Tornado Relief Fund to help families and individuals impacted by this disaster. 100% of donated funds will go directly to local relief efforts — providing food, bottled water, hygiene products, plywood, and other critical supplies.
