Our MRC and partners were able to go over the flow, familiarize with common resources, and role play intake of a Multi-Agency Resource Center! Looking forward to growing this exercise!

🧼✨ Supporting Our Community, One Kit at a Time ✨🧼
In June, we were proud to support families across Disaster Assistance Centers (DACs) by donating:

✅ 100 Deluxe Hygiene Kits
🎨 50 Child Activity Kits
🪥 50 Child Hygiene Activity Kits

The St.Louis DAC reached 3,168 households and provided care to 8,603 individuals impacted from the Tornado that hit downtown St.Louis. Cooper County MRC was able provide hygiene and activity kits, but we brought our portable AC units and provided air conditioning to victims on there way to and from the Disaster Center!

💙 A huge thank you to our team, partners, and volunteers who helped make this possible. Every small effort adds up to something powerful when we support each other as a community.
