4theVille Emergency Hub
Serving North St. Louis City Residents Affected by the May 16, 2025 Tornado and Storms
The 4theVille Emergency Hub was established by 4theVille, Invest STL, Dream Builders 4 Equity, and other nonprofit, for-profit, and civic partners to provide short-, medium, and long-term support to residents of The Ville, Fountain Park, Lewis Place, Academy, and surrounding North St. Louis neighborhoods impacted by the recent tornadoes and severe weather.
We respond with compassion, care, and community — always upholding community members’ dignity — while providing critical supplies and services to our Northside neighbors.
Our focus here at the 4theVille Emergency Hub is simple: to serve and support our community with urgent needs as they recover, rebuild, and restore after the storms.
