4 MORE - We are very grateful to our most recent anonymous corporate donor whose gift will enable us to fund another 4 grant recipients. St. Louis Metro area restaurants interested in our program should reach out to St. Louis Community Foundation to request an application.
50% of our Covid Emergency Relief Grants are intended for day to day operational expenses of our grant recipients; the other 50% is used to prep and deliver meals to the food insecure through one of our non-profit partners.
We are winding our program down as restaurants/caterers have started to re-open and get back to their regular business. Glad to go out with a bang and have this opportunity to fund a few more businesses...and help feed a few more of our neighbors in need. Thanks to all who have supported this effort.
