Standing With Our Communities

As a company and as individuals, we believe it is important to support organizations in our communities that make our world a better place to live. On an annual basis, we select Community Partners. These organizations receive support through in-kind professional services and/or volunteer hours. For 2010, we have selected the following organizations as Standing Partnership Community Partners:

Recipients of In-Kind Professional Services

United Way of Greater St. Louis
For more than 80 years, United Way has brought people together to care for one another. United Way raises funds, mobilizes volunteers, strengthens agencies, and identifies critical and unmet needs in the community. In partnership with local communities, United Way is investing more into the community and helping more people.

STAGES ST. LOUIS
Twenty-one years ago STAGES ST. LOUIS was a dream just beginning to take shape. In 1987, the company was founded on a commitment to nurturing the indigenous American art form of musical theatre. STAGES has since become one of the pre-eminent professional musical theatre companies in our region and is now poised for the next stage of growth.

Children, Youth and Family Services (Charlottesville, Va.)
Children, Youth and Family Services (CYFS) is all about kids and has been for 89 years! In the past year, CYFS gave over 4,000 kids a chance - a chance for a successful future, for positive family interactions, for quality early learning, for a safe place to live. CYFS helps kids from birth to 18 years of age, even offering programs that start prenatally. Their goal is to give kids the skills, knowledge and experiences they need to become productive adults.

Recipients of Volunteer Hours

St. Louis Area Foodbank
The St. Louis Area Foodbank is now the Bi-State region's largest nonprofit 501 (c) 3 food distribution center dedicated to feeding those in need. Its mission is to feed hungry people by distributing food through partner agencies, and to educate the public about the problems of hunger. Each year, the St. Louis Area Foodbank gathers and distributes millions of pounds of food and personal care items thanks to the generous support of hundreds of food manufacturers, retailers, corporate and community food drives, and financial support received from foundations, corporations, businesses and individuals.     

KidSmart-Tools for Learning
There are more than 80,000 students in St. Louis who cannot afford basic school supplies like pencils, paper and crayons. KidSmart-Tools for Learning helps 45,000 of these children succeed in school by providing free school supplies through KidSmart's Free Store. Donations from individuals and businesses help keep the shelves of KidSmart's Free Store stocked with everything from crayons, markers and glue to business surplus items such as binders, envelopes and promotional items.

100 Neediest Cases
Each year, more than 10,000 families in need receive help from the 100 Neediest Cases program. An effort is made to assist every case in some way. With your help and big heart, we can make the holiday season a joyous one for thousands of people in the St. Louis region. All administrative and fund raising costs are absorbed by United Way of Greater St. Louis, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and more than 100 area social service agencies. Every dollar raised for the 100 Neediest Cases program goes directly to help people.
