2025 Fundraising!!

This will be updated every 48 hours (as I do not know how to automate it). Funds matched by S4S will be added to our reserves to continue serving the STL community.

How have your donations been used?

Here are some examples of how Students4STL funding has helped support families around St. Louis:

  1. Hiring a moving company that relocated an expectant mother and her child with special needs to a safer living situation – this included room for her new baby

  2. Paying Ameren/UE so an expectant mother’s power could be turned back on,. as it was shut off while she was in the hospital with pregnancy complications

  3. Providing emergency food for a family during a storm-related power outage

  4. Purchasing maternity clothing that an expectant mother could wear to work

  5. Supplementing rent, gas, and groceries for several families at OFS and another partner organization (the most typical expenditure)

  6. Covering a hotel stay for two parents while their new baby was in the NICU, as it is critical to stay close to the hospital in these scenarios
