Mosquitoes need standing water to lay their eggs. Check your yard weekly and dump out water from buckets, toys, flower pots, and gutters to help reduce mosquito breeding near your home.

🌧️ After the rain, drain!

Standing water is a mosquito’s favorite breeding ground. Dump it out from:
• Flower pots
• Tires
• Buckets
• Kiddie pools
• Bird baths

It only takes a capful of water for mosquitoes to multiply.

Putting in the work with the Urban League STL making sure our neighbors have everything they need. #STLStrong

Experiencing a natural disaster can have lasting effects on mental health, often resulting in PTSD. Unlike other traumas, the aftermath may include ongoing hardships such as loss of shelter, disrupted services, and prolonged displacement. These conditions can intensify symptoms and delay recovery. Limited access to mental health care due to strained resources further complicates the healing process.

June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚

In the wake of the recent tornado here in St. Louis, many in our community are coping with more than just physical loss; they’re also carrying emotional and mental wounds.

#STLStrong #STLBHB #STLRecovers

Was on the ground this weekend with UrbanLeague STL, InvestSTL, and The Big Give Back, making sure folks in our community get the support they need. Rebuilding requires being present, persistent, and committed

We went to donate at O'Fallon YMCA Sunday; so heartwarming in many ways, though the devstation was still heartbreaking.
Literally hundreds of volunteers handing out piles of donations.
The Red Cross is there, the City, more.
So organized.

But the need will be long lasting. DO NOT LET UP.
#STLStrong

The devstation from tornado that ripped through STL 5/16 is devstating; worst I've ever seen.
Ripped a path 8 MILES LONG, A MILE WIDE
from western border of the city (&county) to the eastern border. Thousands lost homes, 5 lost their lives.

But I've never been more proud of STL
