This year we are joining forces to impact our community. When kids learn to live a generous life by serving others and combine that desire to serve with organizations in their community, the impact will always be greatest! This year we are partnering with the following organizations in our community:
St. Louis ArtWorks
The mission of St. Louis ArtWorks is to enrich the lives of the region’s youth by providing art education, essential job skill training, and exposure to career opportunities through paid apprenticeships in the arts.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
More than a food pantry, OLPH does their best to instill Hope and encourage Prosperity as they help families get back on their feet with food, utility assistance, and community support programs.
Operation Food Search
Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization that provides free food, nutrition education and innovative programs proven to reduce food insecurity. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, OFS empowers families and increases access to healthy and affordable food.
