Updated 5/24/2025 - 0900hrs CST:

A major tornado outbreak from May 16–19 has caused widespread devastation across multiple states, with Missouri and Kentucky experiencing some of the most severe impacts. At least 31 lives have been lost.

Our team is in continuous communication with church leaders and national partners who are already on the ground assessing damage and coordinating relief efforts. This page will remain updated as needs and opportunities evolve.

ACTIVE RESPONSE: Most partner assessments are now complete, and multiple response efforts are in full motion. Serve Source has partnered with several churches that are actively responding in these communities. Opportunities to support and volunteer are now available through the Serve Source App and on our Active Event Page for both Missouri and Kentucky. << SEE RESPONSE MAP >> - All details below
