RESTORE ST. CHARLES
Volunteers,
It's once again time for our Restore St. Charles workday. We hope that you will come join us next Saturday, September 16th, in helping to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in need. We currently have six projects lined up and would greatly appreciate your assistance.
Projects include:
1. Completion of a handicap ramp started last
month
2. Fabrication of two new safe egress ramps
3. Fabrication of a set of custom low-rise, wide-
tread steps
4. Replacement of a sliding glass entry door
5. Yard work in support of addressing a code
violation
Hope to see you Saturday!
We gather at Dardenne Presbyterian Church (7400 South Outer 364, just east of Bryan Road). We begin at 8:00AM with safety instructions, continental breakfast, and work site selection.
Thanks in advance for your contribution to our work. Without you, we can do nothing!
If your objective is to change the world, what better place to begin than to help your neighbor in need?!
Restore St. Charles is a faith based program that focuses on serving through restoring the community around us. Their mission is to restore lives, hope, and faith by restoring homes and properties. We organize volunteers, churches, and sponsors to make a real difference. Find more information on their website.

LINKS WEEKEND FOOD PROGRAM
WE WANT TO ensure that some of our neediest students have access to nutritious, kid-friendly, and easy to prepare food on the weekends throughout the school year.
BECAUSE students whose families rely on free breakfast and lunch served at school may struggle financially to provide healthy food for their students on the weekends.
CONSEQUENCES of hunger and poor nutrition can lead to:
-
Weaker immune system
-
Shorter attention span
-
Lower IQ
-
Lower academic achievement
