On behalf of the United Way of Greater St. Louis family, I offer our thoughts and prayers to the victims and all of those impacted by Sunday’s senseless tragedy. It is in times like these that we must come together as a community to support and lift each other up. Although difficult during horrific and incomprehensible events such as those in Orlando, I remember the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars…Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
