    SIKESTON, Mo. — Sunday's storms caused damage in Sikeston. Community members worked Monday to clear downed trees and power lines. The city's Department of Public Safety confirmed one death from Sunday's storm and will conduct a full assessment of the damage on Monday.

    Many people in the city are facing power outages and are unsure when power will be restored. That's why John McHaffie and his congregation spent Sunday night and Monday morning helping those affected by the storm. He said that while he has never seen weather like this, he is stepping up to help those in need.

    “I said, 'I've got to step up,' so I made a few calls and said we need to do something. There's a huge need in our community. People are hungry,” he said.

    Cars lined up outside Sikeston First Assembly of God for free hot lunches and relief supplies. McHaffie said even though the church doesn't have the authority, they want to assist.

    “It breaks my heart to see so many people – so many trees in the road and so much damage. It breaks my heart because that's someone's life, someone's home, someone's Their safe place has been destroyed. So as a community we need to stand by them and tell them your life matters,” he said.

    Volunteers from Sikeston Hope Center Ministries also wanted to lend a helping hand. Volunteer Greg Pearson said his brothers jumped into action when they heard people were in need.

    “You don't have to know people to help them. You see a neighbor in need, you help them,” Pearson said.

    Pierson, who works with First Assembly of God of Sikeston, said this is not the way they envisioned spending Memorial Day, but he wouldn't change a thing.

    “You know, the least we can do is help. At Hope Center Ministry, it's all about brotherhood, and the brotherhood we have together allows us to work together as a team on different missions for the community. This Just one of many tasks we are completing to achieve a better purpose.

    Due to damage and power outages, the American Red Cross set up a shelter at the local YMCA. Shelter leaders say they will reserve resources until all needs are met. They have about 40 cots for those who need to sleep and shower.
