The City opened three centers Monday.
ST. LOUIS — Three mobile command centers are helping St. Louis neighborhoods hit the hardest during the historic flooding.
5 On Your Side went to one of the three centers in the Ellendale neighborhood. People were collecting food, cleaning supplies, and just about anything they needed.
One volunteer said she’s already seeing the positive ways these centers are impacting the community.
“We’ve got cleaning supplies, water, food, toiletries you name it,” volunteer Diane Freppon said.
Volunteers like Freppon are just trying to give residents something after losing so much in last week’s historic flooding. The center is taking donations from just about anyone willing and able.
“We’re some of the lucky ones because we sit on the hill,” Ellendale resident Mike Rohlfing. “Our neighbors just 100 yards down the hill are the ones that got flooded really badly.”
He said it’s a simple task to remember to grab something for those most in need.
