One black and white photograph of American Red Cross workers who are assisting area residents after a natural disaster. Individuals and families are seated at several tables in a school cafeteria and are consuming various drinks, snacks, and soup. Three female Red Cross workers can be seen in the background. An embossed stamp in the lower right corner of the photo reads "The Detroit News, Detroit, Mich." A typewritten label on the verso reads "Lafayette School Shelter, Lincoln Park, May 12, 1956," and "Mrs. Herman Wolff, Mrs. Samuel Megantz, Mrs. Harold Hoyt." A second typewritten label reads "On May 12, 1956, Allen Park - Lincoln Park were struck by a small tornado. No major damage to homes. Red Cross assisted in rebuilding a family-owned small business."
