Minnesota Lynx team to help with tornado cleanup
The Minnesota Lynx are gathering to help with tornado relief efforts on the north side of Minneapolis.
The entire Lynx team, including stars Seimone Augustus, Maya Moore and Lindsay Whalen, is scheduled Wednesday afternoon to pack food and serve meals to residents affected by the storm on May 22. Preliminary assessments found the tornado caused at least $166 million in damage, and more than 100 homes were deemed uninhabitable.
The players will be volunteering at Shiloh Temple Church on West Broadway Avenue in Minneapolis.
The Lynx start the regular season Friday night at Los Angeles. They host the Sparks Sunday afternoon for their home opener.
