Tornado Relief
In response to the devastating tornado that severely impacted many of our neighborhoods, Little Bit is committed to responding to both the emergency and ongoing needs of our students, families and school communities beyond the school year. Little Bit is a service organization, and as such, our role is to serve, be ready, adaptable, and to be there for those who need us. This tragedy has only intensified the challenges for communities that already struggle on a daily basis.
**RESOURCE CENTER FOR SLPS FAMILIES**
On June 2, we opened a temporary Resource Center at Metro High School for families in Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) directly impacted by the tornado. In partnership with SLPS and Saint Louis Public Schools Foundation, the Center will offer families case management of their immediate and long-term tornado recovery needs, essential items, food items, and other resources.
