Larry Rice, the pastor at the New Life Evangelistic Center in Overland, gives a man a resource card on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026 outside an abandoned building on Garfield Avenue in the Greater Ville neighborhood of St. Louis. Rice and other volunteers were providing hand warmers and hygiene kits as below-freezing temperatures lingered. Many individuals who became unhoused because the May 16 tornado damaged their homes, have been living inside the building, as well as staying in shelters.
