“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service to others.”
WHAT DOES MY DONATION SUPPORT?
Where it’s needed most - AmeriCorps St. Louis protects people and places through service to our local, state and national community partners in emergency response and environmental stewardship. We focus our service on vulnerable populations, striving to address the needs of those least served, last served and never served. Your gift helps us achieve our mission of strengthening communities and improving the environment.
Shelter & Guest Services - Your gift can help address the immediate and long-term needs of those individuals experiencing homelessness. Your support provides a range of essential recovery supplies - food, clothing, hygiene and sanitation care - and access to support services - case work for mental health, outpatient medical care, and housing partner agencies.
Member Experiences - Your donation supports Member development and capacity building projects that conserve natural habitats; protect and maintain public lands; support wildland fire mitigation; cultivate individual and community self-sufficiency; provide reforestation service after floods or fires and more. We require support for tools, supplies, training, transportation, and staff oversight to execute these projects while supporting the future career and life development of our Members.
